Galbaby, that reminded me, you did warn me of the potential pull back after the connection which she did. Yes, Sunday morning W was very distant it almost like she was thinking of what just happened. So I just decided to continue and be cordial with her all day..acting "As If" nothing had happened and continued with my 180s. Fastforward to now, she's not that distant. I'm still backing off but continue to do affections/touch when it feels right. Thanks for chiming in.
AS, Yes I remember reading that in DR, regarding ML. You are right its a good way reestablishing intimacy. I'm just proceeding with caution since this was her complaint and also mentioned that it drove her to OM that I kept pressuring her to ML and that I'm selfish and only care about my feelings and whatnot...Anyway, I'm going to continue with 180, the physical touch (if she welcomes it) that doesn't necessarily lead to ML. We'll see how this unfolds, still taking it one day at a time. AS, I finally ran into your thread, I'll catch up with your sitch one of these days. You are so helpful in the boards! Thanks for taking the time.

So tomorrow I will go to my IC. I will be mentioning what transpired last month to date, in case I have unresolved feelings. I really want to make myself better and prepare myself to the potential outcomes of this sitch.
I feel a lot stronger and control of my emotions, thanks to all the people here it really helped reading the sitch and different advice. I'm sure my counselor will tell me how good I'm handling my emotions--if only he would've seen me last month lol.
Any thoughts you guys might have on the IC, please let me know. This is my only my second session individually.
Take care, Newman
