Continuing to see slow signs of progress but also both recognize that with her job interview there may have been an acceleration in where life is taking us.
She told me she is committing to making it work but also is cognizant of the fact that her moving away is a complicating factor but she feels we can work on it. She NEVER expressed those words until this weekend and before always said she wanted to feel that way.
She did say she doesn't want to rush saying ILY since she wants the moment to be special.
Trying to let her enjoy her interview and getting ready for it and not so much thinking about the "what ifs". Not quite there yet but doing pretty well because as MC said in IC to me that it is very remarkable how we both are giving this a real effort.
Don't have much else to update with other than that I think once a job offer has been made we probably will have to figure things out in greater details. Ideally she would start after September so we have a few more weeks together and we can plan things etc.
I told IC that a few weeks ago I felt she needed to be moved out and "lose something" but that it appears that W's IC has done tremendous good and that while I would like to move with her to the PNW that I am not dreading our time apart and that it might actually empower W more. But that I also like the idea of us going together and being in a new place where we can set things up right from the start. Counselor told me to also recognize how privileged I am that in this economy I do have a job and I do have options and to just enjoy exploring multiple options. (Ironically W told me that exact thing right before I went to IC on Saturday.)
I am sure I will have a more profound update soon but perhaps this was also kind of nice. Not that we don't have bumps. We do. But it's immediately resolved. That's the beauty!
