Thanks. smile that means a lot. I know the main issue is consistency and keeping with it. When I started posting here I had a lot of doubt if what I was doing was working and in certain cases where the advice on here was to do something differently I trusted my gut. The last few weeks have confirmed my gut feeling...but of course [unhealthy thought alert!]

This is why while I am happy that my W may have a job opportunity I am also a little sad as more time together would continue to bring us closer. We have some plans in September (Halloween horror nights during my birthday weekend, her GRE on the 30th) and had even discussed plans for actual Halloween to maybe go to New Orleans or Denver. I suppose if she has that job we could still do some of those but it would be in a long distance relationship that is still very fragile.

I know that W validates my changes and does seem to talk me as if there is a future but that is NOW and with actual space between us that may be easy to become a wider divide. I suppose if we are meant to be together it will happen but it is risky nonetheless.

At the same time I am only saying that on here and I am mostly not sharing those thoughts with W who quite frankly deserves to enjoy that she has been asked for an interview and even said herself that just the invite was awesome.
