Wow. That sounds like quite the development. She seems to be making the smallest microsteps in the right direction. Sometimes I feel like watching MLC progress is like watching grass grow. No, I guess grass actually grows faster, doesnt it.

I have mixed emotions about not telling W where Im going. I dont, but I also raised issue about her not telling me earlier on and then she started telling me. Not full transparency, but I think she tries to let me know whats going on. Now I kind of feel like if I expected it from her and she attempts to try then I should lead by example. Its mixed emotions because I also know that I want to tell her out of love but she is doing it out of obligation.

I also think its good that she recognizes that you keep her at a distance. Been keeping my W at a distance lately but I dont feel like she even notices. She probably does but forms her own opinion about why.

You handle yourself well, brother. You are an inspiration. Team Gordie all the way!
