Thanks guys, I appreciate the insight. I just took her lunch and helped her with her computer work. It sure feels good to be around her. I was going to help her and then go get lunch but I just ran next door and got us lunch to share. I told her that way she gets lunch (doesn't eat lunch usually) and we get some more time. She said it was very nice.
Z,
You know all about my obsession problem. Still working on it. I am trying to go back to doing the things I always did except with more courtesy and consideration for others. She could somehow sense when I had enough of her BS and I started to care less. I am now trying to convert that over to care more but don't smother. You guys are helping me to stay objective about the situation. I need that because I can micro-manage with the best of them.
We have a busy weekend planned but that is probably good. We have been spending a lot of time together so the activities are probably a very good thing. Lord knows I don't want her to get sick of "quiet time" with me.
Some of my close friends think it was a very good thing that I confronted her. They didn't want to say it before but they were thinking the EA's would of escalated very soon. I will never know but hindsight sure is interesting. The EA's seem to be going away. I don't know because Zebra helped me quit snooping but she sure has a lot to talk about lately. Aha, that is all I wanted was for her to lean on me for a change. Oh the baby steps.
Pure unadulterated excitement planned tonight for W and I. Pressure washing a 500+ sq. ft. deck. Oh, how do I contain the emotions. Now that is reality.
