It’s been about 2 weeks of following the LRT and 180 method. And she is definitely noticing and being nicer. By nice, I mean telling me ‘good night honey’ or asking how I’m feeling. I respond respectfully and happy, but never include the ‘love’, hun’ my love ect… trying to maintain distance.
Today I had workers prep the house for sale, taking care of cosmetic issues and cleaning the clutter. Mid-day she asked me for a hug. I obliged and she started crying; saying she ‘Is trying to do the right thing’. I continued to embrace her for 10 seconds before we broke the embrace.
I maintained my composure, and mentioned nothing. What’s the next step?
I’m into chapter 5 of DR at this point.
