W is working a huge deal at work, one that may change her career. She's been really good at keeping me in the loop on her schedule for the last 2 weeks, which is really weird all things considered. Last night she didn't get home til 1130, but she did call me at 630 and ask me if I was ok with the dinner meeting (like I'm really in a position to say no).
When she got home she was excited and was telling me all about the deal. She reads me like a book and could tell I was a little uncomfortable with the late night and was very kind and reassuring (again, surprising), though I told her I was fine. She cuddled up with me and went to bed about 30 mins later. Wasn't much, but it was the first time in 2 weeks she's touched me in any way, so that's a baby step in the right direction.
Before we went to sleep, I said, "W, I know you're busy with your deal, and I'm not trying to overwhelm you or pressure you, but I wanted to let you know we're having game night Fri night in case you want to participate." She said she would be home by 3 or so today, finish her dialogue questions, and participate in game night.
All in all, I think this is how we would both want it to work in a perfect world. I don't give her crap for working late, we make time for family things, and make sure our M makes the priority list as well. I'm not getting my LL (quality time), or really, any LL at this point, but at least I don't feel disrepected constantly and I think the relief of pressure on her is helping as well.
I feel really good all in all. I really like where I'm going, and generally like how I feel, but I know I'm struggling with patience a little. She hasn't mentioned R, D, or moving out in the last two weeks. Given the situation though, I think Aug 4th would really be the move out date....not July 30 as she indicated, so that's probably the telling point.
We've got a busy couple of days in front of us...bought a new vehicle which we pick up tomorrow, then retrov, and church on Sun, along with Sun dinner, so we'll see how the weekend goes and I'll report back then.
