Hi RB, Your post is titled "W is making progress" but I say, YOU are making progress! Cuddling on the couch, first family date in over a month, and still remaining detached! Wow, I hope you are keeping a solutions journal and monitoring your goals, action steps and your W's baby steps. Because I am seeing some! Meanwhile, your GAL strategy and detachment are really healthy and I am very very pleased to read where you're at. Although I do not hold on to my H's future talk as promises, it is nice to hear and important that you note these steps your W is taking. Continue to appreciate your W's efforts and remain detached (I know, sometimes easier said than done!). But you are doing it - keep up the good work.
