MRay, I've read through your story and see a lot of similarities to mine. Sometimes I had to double check and make sure I wasn't reading my own posts!

I wanted to say that I experience the same thing you do with my W where it seems my GAL is assuaging her guilt. She is totally curious and temp checks me about everything I do, but at the end of the day she is always telling me she is happy for me or 'good for you', etc. It's hard not to let this make me feel like this means she truly wants me to move on and have a life without her, with no conflicting feelings. Of course, she could just be putting on a show.

I often wonder how to feel about her feelings of guilt. I don't want her to come back to me because she feels guilty. But it seems MWD says any and all emotions that make her question her decision at this time are a good thing. So, I feel you about getting discouraged by GALing and her feeling less guilty. Keep it up, though, it sounds like you're doing great!
