I have some hopeful news. W appeared outside my office window this morning, looking up at me. I waved, waved again. No response. She looked so sad. So I walked out there, and we had a relationship talk that she initiated. Bottom line, she misses me, misses the dogs, misses the energy I brought to the house, apologized for the lies and deception, says she needs more time alone. I said I do, too, and that we should take this time to focus on each of us individually, so that we're both healthier. She reiterated that she wants to find a therapist.

I'll share details later. (I'm at work and have to keep this job!)

Cautiously optimistic. I'll re-read the validation cheat sheet one more time, and keep on GALing!
