Update: I was away at a Bachelor's party over the weekend, my wife was pretty curious about the details (its a mutual friend) before I left-how long would I be gone, etc. I tried to keep it pretty vague.
One of our dog needed stitches due to an accident this weekend, so we ended up text over the last few days about that. She has sent some nice texts thanking me for taking care of him and made some other nice comments.
She also wanted to know about my weekend plans. I gave her a short run down and she asked if I have time- "we need to talk please. I'd appreciate it"
I assume this will be the standard conversation we have been having. I'm not passionate enough. She's sexual, spontaneous, etc. We need to move forward, make plans. She feels uncomfortable that I haven't told friends, family, etc.
I need advice:
Do I set up a time to talk? If so, what setting: I was thinking, maybe a walk-get us some forward momentum outside. I feel like conversations inside in the living room, kitchen always spiral and we end up rehashing the same lines: She says the above. I say ok, I hear you, I want you to be happy, you should do what makes you happy, get a D if that will make you happy.
How can I steer conversation in a more positive direction?
Or, do I vaguely avoid the conversation altogether? I do have a busy weekend planned: meetings, workout, yard work, helping a friend move, church, workout, yoga, going on a hike...
I'm maintaining the GAL and detachment path. I feel like I'm seeing some positive developments, but I know it is way too early and these are only words/not actions. How can I keep on this path?
