Thank you both for the perspective. I know deep down that it wouldn’t be the right thing to do, but the impatient mind does wander. I think the reason she thought of it was what she was witnessing with him lingering around, seemingly waiting for something to be said or done. She asked if he does that frequently when it’s just the 2 of us. Yes, he does. And I think I do get tempted to act because he does often give the impression that he is waiting for me to do or say something. I might be imagining that, or even if it is the case, imagining that if I did say or do something, it would have a positive result. It hasn’t thus far! Thank you all for the reality check. I’ll continue as I have been, detaching and being patient.
