Thanks for stopping by my thread, thought I'd return the favor. Wow, a lot happened in just a couple weeks.
I have no new vantage point. As everyone pointed out, you are doing an excellent job. Interactions with your wife sound positive. Nice job of looking for compliments. Might want to stock up on a few indirect compliments just in case.
In my sitch it always seems the interactions are positive, I get my hopes up, push a little too much, and go back to square one. It sounds like you are learning a great deal of patience, that's good. It's too easy to lay your cards on the table too soon.
I let my crazymaker run amok all the time. I'm still not controlling it well. I think....she's found someone else. Actually I have to rationalize by saying "she's 39 years old, she's with her kids 24/7, knows hardly anyone in this town, and is shy....when could she find time." Of course the crazymaker doesn't care about rational stuff. I'm just saying don't look for any signs of OP. It doesn't matter anyway...you are trying to become her best and indispensable friend and she will be drawn back to you regardless. For her you are the best possible catch.
Well Gabriel, best of luck. I'm going to take my cues from you since you are doing so well. Unfortunately, I don't really have a reason to see her daily or even several times a week unless I initiate something. Make the most of each opportunity to show what a great guy you are.
btw I like your name...my son shares the same one. Do you go by Gabe?
