Even though Clark is home now, it's still very surreal. He continues to frustrate me, but that's my fault for letting those couple expectations creep in. Clark wants to move slow, but I feel like the speed is at a faster pace than I can handle. I haven't GALed in a while, and it's weighing on me. I don't feel like I've got MY space anymore.
I'm in a similar situation... I want to continue GALing, don't want to lose what I've gained since Mr. Gritty left. He's not moved back in yet, I don't think will face that for a while but he wants to spend more time together and that cuts into the life I've created since he left. A good problem to have, but still.
This post has been extremely helpful to me about setting the boundaries you describe:
M:54, H:55 T:33, M:27 12/13 BD: EA 01/14 BD: PA, H leaves 03/14 H & OW break up 05/14 H says he will file for D 08/14 H initiates D 09/14 H wants to R 12/14 Still bungling our way through R
