Good points Cali - I shouldn't have said that, I know. It slipped. Of course that's not the worst thing that slipped this week to show my hand in terms of thinking about the OW. But after talking with my coach today and having this specific guideline in my hand, I resolve not to acknowledge her one iota from this point on.
Speaking of whom, the W went to lunch with the OW right after (I think) she saw the Skype chat. When she left, she was pretty distant. There is a little DB stuff sprinkled in our talks, but it's enough out of context that I don't think she's on to what I'm doing here.
She came back home and I told her about the second interview for the better job. She went to give me a stupid high five, and I grasped her hand for few seconds instead. She grasped mine back, mentioned how cold my hand was, and rubbed it for a second between hers.
I left the room, saw her a bit later in the kitchen. She said, out of nowhere and for reason I could discern, "You're cute." (Not sexy, mind you. But cute!)
Then she asked if we needed to go grocery shopping. Remember, she loves to do that with me. I said "yes, we need produce at least. And wine." She nodded, grabbed a snack, and left.
Not sure if she assumes "we" are going shopping, or the assumption is that one of us will do it on the other's behalf. But all in all, seemed like good DBing contact sowing just enough conflict in her mind. If I have two months to do this, who knows, right?
