Still continuing to GAL and move forward. Gym and exercise are still going good.
Good! GAL helps move toward detachment. Keep it up!

This is quite normal. I dreaded it too. I had a cry in the car, called a friend (find someone for support) and stayed busy making this place my own. You will be ok.

Great reply!

There is a million reasons why she does this - control, keeping tabs, temp checking - better not to try and understand it, just keep your response short and brief and only answer questions.

This is the goal. To be a better man. The less you focus on where STBXW is in her journey, the better off you will be, no matter what happens in future.
Detach. Rinse. Repeat.
Detachment is a process and something I'm not great at myself. Focusing on S3 and yourself is great!
