That is great SG. I know you are on my thread and the mutual support is great. Me and my W are in separate bedrooms and it kills me. It actually kills me to hear my kids say "moms room, dad's room" So at least you guys are in the same bed!
You are doing very good. I also play guitar. It is a nice escape. I also struggle with communication. You want to pull away but not be an azz. Whenever my W txt me I try to be upbeat. I try not to txt her though unless it really is relevant. In the past I was making up reasons to txt her. Not healthy.
Detaching is difficult. Detaching in love is very difficult. GAL really really helps. I'm going to continue to do more GAL. I've ordered a book that Advina suggested on communication. I'm reading "the new codepency now"
Maybe find someone to jam with? I thought about busting my acoustic out again and starting a local open mic somewhere.
