Some days are better than others

[EDF]

Yesterday WW sent me an email. It included a somewhat wordy apology, and ended with "I love you and always have", but the main payload was her attempting (again) to sell how the EA part of the "friendship" was over and rationalize why she is "hesitant" to give up the friendship and should be able to still be friends with OM.

I'm not budging on the no contact requirement. It doesn't matter to me whether she honestly wants to be only platonic, or if it's purely lies, or something in between; If she wants back in the M fully, she will need to 100% ditch her special friend. I haven't replied to the email. Got home late last night (work+gym) after she went to sleep. This morning I gave my usual light & breezy "good morning" greeting; not sure if she returned it, but when that happens I don't let it get to me anymore. Other than that she was quite cheery and talkative.

WW and I have plans together tonight (she had invited me last week). I haven't gone dark or cut her off completely since she is doing a lot of things better, but I think I've been doing solid at least at interacting with her more on neighborly terms as opposed to H and W. She has definitely been noticing me being available less.

On the GAL front I've really been enjoying my cheapie gym membership the past couple weeks. I joined a Planet Fitness rather than going back to the cardio classes my wife and I used to go to together (and she still does) - it has let me start doing some weight lifting as part of my exercise, which has always been a wish of mine. And gives me more "me" time. I think I might start bringing shower kit with me so I can shower at gym rather than driving home to shower... keep her guessing a bit.
