Our son’s birthday party went really well yesterday. The smiles on his face were priceless. It was a great time.

W gave me a big hug a few times throughout the day. After everyone left she wanted to cuddle on the couch while we watched our son play. She said we worked as a great team all weekend.

We watched some TV while having a snack before bed. She cuddled up and held on to me nearly the entire time. She initiated additional activities which was very surprising. She held onto me tightly while falling asleep.
Could this be a good sign for our future? Or could she just be trying to convince herself? Or…? Maybe I shouldn’t look into things… I thought this great evening would make me feel better… but this morning I’m just as confused.

She asked me twice throughout the day with sad eyes, “don’t you even love me anymore?” I responded by telling her that I love her very much. She’s obviously noticing that I’m pulling away some (GAL!).
The whole GAL process seems very tough because I don’t want her to think that I’m neglecting her, or giving up on her. But at the same time, I have to do these things for myself so I don’t go into a downward spiral…
