I doubt you will ever be able to think or even guess to what's going on in her head.
Don't get excited over anything just yet. Of course she knew it wasn't alright with you for her to see OM. She wanted to know what you would do....if anything. Now comes the test.
BTW, stop having R talks with her that are not inside the counselor's office. You said yourself, they are not accomplishing anything. Besides, she's still not in piecing. She wants to see OM outside of work!
The MC suggested we stop having those R talks also, for the same reason. It makes for uncomfortable silences at times since that seems to be all she wants to talk about, but oh well. I see small shifts in her rhetoric, she talks about getting on with life, etc. I know better than to put too much stock in anything, but it is a shift.
OM came and went without them having any meaningful conversation either during or after business hours. If he follows true to form he should be coming back in 8 - 12 weeks. Her reaction to not being able to talk to him was interesting..."It is what it is" was her exact quote. Not that I believe much of what she says, but it was awfully level-headed, especially for her. She's not exactly exuberant but she's not curled up on the bed crying either.
Before I forget...GAL update! I've been looking for jobs at a different company (same geographic area)...finally have a phone interview scheduled for next week.
