This thought just occurred to me: Is my W cake-eating?
She tells me she doesn't know what she wants to do and that she isn't in a hurry to make a decision. She says we're in a "holding pattern" until she gets a new job, so she doesn't have to deal with job stress while trying to figure out what to do with our relationship.
In the meantime, there's potential OM. At a minimum, there has to be an EA.
I feel like she's just putting our relationship on hold. She's put us in timeout while she goes and explores whatever she wants. I've given her the freedom to do so since I'm not putting up any boundaries, and one of my 180s is to stop asking her who/what/when/where questions all the time and to stop making her feel guilty for going out.
She can go out, and knows that I'm at home caring for S. She can chat with me like we're friends, and send me occasional emails throughout the day. But at the end of the day... we're roommates with a kid until she decides what to do.
