Quote: It's a wobbly fence to straddle, Frank. As always you do it, though. And the rest of us watch and learn.
And I get a little crazier each day...
Tonite we sat on the couch and did the 'put your head on my lap and I'll rub your head' thing again. Of course we do these things after the kids have gone to bed. Can't get CAUGHT you know!
I stroked her hair and she sighed with contentment until she fell asleep on my lap. It was around midnite and she said sleepily 'I have to go to bed, I'm so tired'. Then she got up slowly, kissed me on top of the head and went to her room.
It's that part of it that I have such a hard time with, the emotional disconnect after making an 'intimate connection' like we just did.
But I have read others experiences on this board, the backrubs, spooning and other little 'intimacys' they have shared, only to be followed by detachment.
Some found their way back, some got more distant.
I'm still staying semi-detached. Not 'initiating' anything even though she gave me 'approval' to do that last nite. I still think that's the smarter thing to do. Let her pursue me, and not BE pursued by me. I think the more she is challenged, the more she will want me.
We'll see, as long as I don't get tired of this. She's going over her friends to stay overnite tomorrow and won't be back till Sunday afternoon. This is the friend who thought OM was hot, and who also gave her the brownies. Wonder what she thinks of OM now?
Either way W will not see me tomorrow nite. I wonder how that will feel for her?
