Day 80/161:

Small but significant update:

Trying to confirm plans for a photoshoot with W and D4. Planning on next weekend when it's a little cloudy. Expecting nothing but have not been shot down yet.

And, at the suggestion of my DB coach, I asked W to hang out next week during the workweek for 10-15 minutes. Her defenses immediately went up and asked about my intent. I said "just hang out", implying that this is not a date or an attempt at romance. Felt good about it. Instinctively I did not want her to ask what hang out it was, but I also know from a rebuild perspective I have to take it slow and her defenses have to be slowly (very slowly) lowered.

It's been 12 weeks since we have truly separated (physically). I do not know what the average time for a true separation is, but this getting really exhausting. It's getting colder and GAL is becoming a little more difficult.
