Thanks, Matt. My coach told me to be hopeful. Said the fact that she feels compelled to run down her schedule means we still have a connection. The fact that she continues to want affection means we still have a connection. She was cold on Tuesday but warmed up in response to my being less distant and more complimentary. Typically, she'd hang up the phone with the OW and go to sleep upstairs. Last night, she came down to say goodnight to me after, and wanted a hug.
Michele says in the book, recognize the small signs of progress. Not sure sure if all this is progress, exactly. But they are signs of possible hope.
Still, this morning I'm just so exhausted, and it's oppressive to think that they have a "date" tonight, in spite of my GAL plans.
