So I've been helping WAW with the website, and it's been going well. I am still worried that it's framing me as someone who will always be available to her, but without my help she'd really be up a creek and it's been a good opportunity for me to 180 on mutual projects that I wasn't very helpful on. I think it's been helpful to remind her that we're a good team when we're moving in the right direction. Rapport has been very friendly, with jokes and so on.
One of the downsides of helping - apart from giving neither of us much separation - is that it does remind me that I'm still very attracted to her. I've done my part too, looked nice, smelled good, and all of that - but she's still very attractive to me and I just have to absorb that.
Otherwise, usual GAL stuff. Not going to get into specific details, but I've been taking advantage of my singleness and having fun when I go out with my friends. Nothing romantic or emotional, just having fun. Otherwise I've been getting to the gym, setting up my apartment, setting into a different life.
I do remain pretty committed to the goal of reconciliation though, so I'm also reading (and doubling down on DB and NMMNG), going to IC, and journaling offline as well. Really trying to be the best version of myself I can be.
Separation agreement talks will resume once I'm back from a work trip overseas; I'm still a bit concerned it will hamstring any positive momentum we've had, but I recognize this is a marathon and not a sprint.
