I’d love to involve my step-mom, but if W is going to talk to her about it, it will have to come from W. I cannot manipulate the sitch through a third party, can I?
I would love to have a night alone with W but I think it would put too much pressure on both of us.
Boy! I’m really stuck! I think W and I are so close to the emotional intimacy that I’ve been striving for, but I can’t jeopardize that for physical intimacy.
What makes it even harder is that I don’t really know how open W is. The only thing I can think to do is to keep an eye out for signs and hope she’ll initiate dialogue.
This morning, she noted that I’d read more of her book. Was this an opening? Perhaps, but I can’t just pounce on any opening w/o looking opportunistic. (sigh)
