DM, yes in our world, the world of LBS, we'd take anything even the limited physical contact with caution . It feels like my W is really trying though, I got to give her props for that. That being said, I'm still seeing some distance and detachment from her. Afterall the physical interactions are initiated by me. But we'll see I'm just taking it one day at a time and still practicing patience.
Hey that's good you're GALing, I feel the same feels unnatural to do but I believe we have to do this. I'm glad you have great support from your friends especially the one that can relate and give you insight on this struggle.
Keep working on you DM. GAL with the kids.
O btw you mention she gets mad when you ask her about her job hunting. IMO, she feels pressure when you ask her about her job hunting.
Is she receptive when you ask about her day in general? What are her complaints? Maybe you can 180 those?
Take care DM. Keep posting.
