I understand the concept of touch and go's. I know that pulling back draws the spouse closer and I know that showing that I am okay and ready to move on creates a sense of urgency and promotes the feelings of losing something great.
I find it's very dificult to do these things while sleeping in the same bed and doing so many great things together. I did however for the past few evenings let her take the lead on everything from initiating conversation to asking questions and it is slowly getting easier to let go of the control and focus on the present and what I am doing for ME.
I have a long road ahead of me filled with potholes and speed bumps but I am enjoying the little victories every chance I can.
Onward to work.
