Thanks for the positive thoughts. It's interesting to hear your perspective being emotionally detached from it. Heck, we could pass each other on the street and we wouldn't even know each other!

On an unrelated note. I've been trying to be a better third-party observer of my R with my W. So one thing that has happened over these past few months is a change in our physical relationship which I have posted about here a lot, but something that I've recently come to realize and not yet discussed is that she acts very differently in public than at home. I'm working hard to NOT mind read, but just notice the actions.
1. In public, I have cooties. She consistently keeps her distance. Even in social situations, where our friends don't know what is going on, she'll keep at least a foot away from me.
2. In private, she's all over the place. Some days I have cooties; other days she can't keep her hands off me (both sexually and non sexually).
In public and private, I have let her take the initiative in our physical interactions. I don't initiate anything, not even physical greetings any more. Is that the right approach?
