My dilemma right now is how to handle this EA. She might not know it's an EA. My conception of it from what I can gather without snooping is that they have long talks/texting sessions and just talk about everything under the sun in a very carefree fun and flirty way. This is partly from just watching her. Shes glued to the phone and always looks happy. Shes basically done deeply/excitedly talking to me about her life and interests and instead does so with him. They also work out together.
Is handling the EA pressure and pursuit? Or is it giving her space? That answers your question. Control what you can control and she ain't it. Even if you confront she'll just go deeper undercover. So focus on GAL, 180s, and detachment.
Sometimes in DBing the best thing to do is nothing.
