She was home by 5:00. No icy treatment. However, really having trouble going dark and I keep getting sucked into conversations where I talk too much. I've been working on myself but having trouble detaching. Don't reach out to her but if I'm present I talk to her more than I should. I feel like I'm projecting happiness and confidence more than I have in the past but... I follow her on social media and check several times a day. Need to practice some self control. She posts selfies several times a day on Facebook and Instagram talking about happiness and starting over but when I'm around her she seems very unhappy. Maybe my presence evokes that response. She's nice and cordial and makes eye contact when we speak, and even smiles sometimes but she seems so beat. She obviously wants the rest of the world to view her very differently than what I observe. I feel like she's trying to justify what she's doing by proving to the world that I was some sort of albatross around her neck. It hurts but I have come to the realization that it isn't me. I contributed greatly to the problems in the relationship but the relationship was only one contributing factor to her overall unhappiness. I'm worried about her.
