but second there are times when she seems upset that I am doing other things and ignoring her which drives her away. What is a guy to do? It seems counterintuitive to GAL if that is going to drive her away.
It sounds like there's some mind-reading going on here, are you sure that GAL is causing her to be upset, and are you sure it "drives her away"? Because your M is in trouble, so it's probably more likely that she's upset and moving away because of that rather than your GAL, and you may just be confusing the reasons. GAL is healthy for YOU, so continue it.
