Sure.

All looks good, as long as this stuff is balanced I think. In Terms of reaching out.

Going to run an idea by you-

Try going a day without any love bank deposits (as you put it) or being first to reach out to him? Especially since you've really left things on several good notes. Just to see what happens, if he comes toward you in any little way. By all means, walk past looking great, happy, but turn your focus and energies away from him. Thus giving him space to realize he might miss your co a bit.

Every step they take toward us is 3x more powerful in shifting the dynamic than one they happily receive from us. I think they know it which is why there's sometimes hissing, internal conflict, pullback. Until there isn't.

I get the sense you are dangerously close to trying too hard wink

PS, thank you for all of your support too in my world of driving myself crazy.
