A familiar story with questions EIGHT

[SteveLW]

RR, thanks. I do remember all of the rehashing now. I also remember saying there was no way she was moving out 5/18! LOL Did that come up at all in the R talk? I am guessing she has pretended as if she never made that declaration.

All valid reasons for the separate sleeping arrangements. But as I said, at some point that has to end for you guys to move forward together. It will difficult if she is not open to MC. My W is very similar to yours. In MC I concentrated on sharing things for myself, let her share what she wanted about herself. Our MC was very good at reading people and could always tell if I was getting too close to an uncomfortable place for my W and shifting it away. She'd eventually come back.

I remember one exchange about the singing app. I said that she still spent too much time on the app and that it was a rough thing for me considering her recent history and that OM was from there. And that it was essentially an online meat market. W started to get uncomfortable, answers started to get evasive. MC redirected. Once W got more comfortable the MC went back to the issue and pointed out that people that couldn't handle certain things should stay away from them. Like the alcoholic not going into a bar, etc. And while she stopped short of saying that my W should stop singing on the app, she did say that it was important for her to be careful with how she did interact on the app. I thought it was handled perfectly.

RR, I really give our MC a lot of credit for our R. Without her I think we are in D proceedings at this point.
