GAL going well. Need help with LRT and 180

Sandi2:

Thanks for the tips. I will do the homework. In the stormy days my W told me that she fell for me because I was a bad boy. I guess 20 years, 3 kids, jobs, house, etc - the bad boy slips away. I'll have to find out how to get him out of retirement. For me my confidence has grown since I've been taking charge of a few things i.e. house repairs, how I spend my time, activities with the family.

As I've said earlier we have spent some time recently talking about non surface issues. Mainly money, house, kids. But, we have drifted into the Relationship talk i.e. who did what, why did I do that, etc, etc. But, we are talking.

In DR MWD says if you are LRT correctly you could see some results in a week or two i.e. genuine interest, sharing, friendliness, etc.

Here is my question. She has started her dream job. So for the last few days she has been sharing what has been happening and she loves it. Am I being played? Is she just sharing with me because she is in a good mood. Should I consider this progress? Or is she just using me as some kind of emotional bus stop. Getting on and off whenever she feels like it. I've been trying to listen and validate. But, if this is the wrong approach - it might backfire right?

Let me know your thoughts?
