That's awesome T! Fantastic progress! Like cbtdad said, take it slow. There are still going to be backslides, don't freak out when they happen, just remember your DB'ing and stick with it. She said she's scared, that's going to manifest itself in her pushing you away after things get "too close". This can especially happen after ML.

Your boundaries were well thought out and appropriate. I'm concerned that she so readily agreed to them. Did you discuss enforcement of these boundaries, things like giving each other access to phones and email?

If you're still living apart then keep it that way for a while, ease back into this. Look over the stickies in the Piecing forum for more advice.

Good luck!
