I know how to GAL because I've been working on me; I got a job, passed a few certifications for the job, etc. I'm just not sure on the 180 and distance. The distance is hard for me because we see each other often because of our son and I never know how to act.

The 180 is just plain confusing, does that mean since I've been stepping on eggshells around him for fear of scaring him off, I just act casual and ignore his puppy faces and mixed signals and stop being so friendly and accommodating to him? It's seems like when I kind of just act like hes a neighbor coming by and focus on my while hes here he starts to get curious but then I always screw it up but caving and seeing his smiles and then start to focus on him again.

I don't want to be mean or rude, but I have a hard time with just keeping conversations casual and not saying much to him when hes at the house.

Together for 13 years, married for 8.
