LRT - Dealing with WAW Affair

[RealityTrip]

That's a good visualization to have for the pain. Thanks NG!

SO... Here I was wanting to contact her and wondering if she missed me and she came up with a reason to text me. (I'm sure she didn't disect it like I am, but she really didn't need to text me for the answers)

She "apologized for bothering me, told me she was getting the tax info to the CPA today, asked how are neighbors son was since he's been having difficult times, she sent kisses to our dog that's home with me and she 'Hoped I was doing OK'." (all one text)

I didn't ingore her. I just wanted to respond to her.

I answered that she "was never a bother, our neighbor was having some tough times, that our dog was doing well (I'm trying to get some weight off of her and voice command train her)and that "I am doing ok. I have a call with school today, my financial aid was approved', and I hope you are keeping your chin up."

She texted back: "I am trying. I can't tell u enough how proud of you that I am!!!! Proud of (our dog)too. Xo take care of urself."

I just left it at that. I didn't text back.

The truth is I responded and engaged her because we are S by distance since she is in another state and I just feel like if given an opportunity to have an interaction that is pleasant and "As If" occasionally that I should take it if she initiates it. But not go overboard.

I don't know. Maybe since I'm just really missing her today and these days have been so hard I cracked. Is this a "backslide" or taking advantage of an "opportunity"?
