I will say that although things may seem on a positive path there is still uncertainty at many corners. I am optimistic but with a red pill cautious eye. I believe this to be a healthy approach yet not foolproof. The longer this trend continues without proper reconciliation the more I feel prone to let my guard down. While continuing to work to maintain Detachment, expectations can tend to sneak in. This vulnerability is unsettling at times. My main intention is to not let it shape my interactions with the W any more than possible. I am human and still slip and make mistakes. I have a plan for the time and intend to follow this plan until I rationally decide to change it. I can't and won't continue on this trajectory indefinitely. Several guys on here are so supportive and remind me to be patient. They are correct, but without some movement, it can become unmaintainable over months and months.
Wishing all much peace this holiday season.
