Thanks everyone. I am not even remotely prepared to open myself up for any type of relationship. I simply need to realize that I can't place myself in situations like that.
In regards to my sitch, I am not sure if I am really beginning to detach, or if possibly visiting with a woman or my other GAL activities, are really helping me now. However, my W was out this weekend. We had very little contact, actually none other than talks with D. Usually, that would have drove me nuts, wondering where she was, what she was doing, who she was or was not leaving our D with, how much money she was spending. But, this time I really didn't care all that much. I was doing my own thing. I thought about her, but not enough to keep me awake at night.
Tonight, she asked me to come over to check on a possible water leak in the basement of my building. She lives in the studio on the third floor. So, I simply let myself in the basement and went to work. D wanders down to say hi, then W. After I was finished, in typical fashion, W asks me for some help. She wants to know if I have a cable to connect her laptop to her TV so her and D can watch Netflicks. Usually, I would jump at the opertunity to help her out. Tonight I said, "I am sure they make a cable for that. Maybe try looking on monoprice.com. I better get running", and out the door I went. I was still nice in my demeanor, but did not offer any real assistance to her. Time for her to put her big girl panties on!
Tomorrow I get daughter back for a week, and I have been happy as a clam all day! I hope I can keep my PMA going strong.
