That's exactly I've been doing with detaching. Doing my own thing and GAL, but when she calls and text, I make myself available to her. I've noticed that if I am in another room to myself, W makes a point to find and inquires what I am reading, watching, etc. Sometimes it feels like were in high school. And I am ignoring a girl to gain her attention. Wondering how long does it have to be like this.
Yeah. I thought I could relax after several years with my wife, and I did, and it was awesome. But often I've felt like I've been dealing with a teenager, since BD.
I got too relaxed when we were together, and couldn't read her because of her putting on a happy face. But I've learned a whole lot.
