Still holding, still living like friendly roommates.
IC ended Tuesday.
C likes that fact that W and I have started the ritual of watching rerun episodes of the Sopranos on a regular base. Usually one or two episodes depending on the night and time available. Like friends. W seems to look forward to these times.
We started out as friends 23 years ago. Surprisingly I don't read so much into it. C says and I have read that going back to courting phase is not unusual. I'm not will to accept that we are there. W yammers on about her day and what that idiot at work said and I listen and validate. Last time it was consensually mostly about me. Now it is about her. According to IC. I'm looking for a recon and W that experiences some sort of loss. Piecing etc.
I continue to detach in some ways, yet we make time for Tony and his murderous friends on a regular basis. The first run of these episodes was shortly after we got M. Perhaps it is cathardic.
Monday morning when schedules were permitting I texted from my upstairs bedroom "Do you want to come up?" W responded "Not this morning". Knowing I should have dropped it there I didn't, I responded with "Do you want me to stop asking you?" W said, "I don't know". Suprising, I didn't respond and let it drop there. Who know's what that all even means? I guess I am growing because unlike the past, I'm not jumping to any real conclusions.
Now, I am pondering ways to possibly pull back a little more.
