Turns out there's skydiving based out of the tiny airport in town. Asked W if she wants to go with. She isn't opposed to the idea...

You should have thrown in "Parachutes optional. " laugh

She said, let me think about it, I've been feeling kind of low lately.

Not my problem, but I validated and offered to listen if she wants to talk about it.

MC tomorrow. Perfect weather Friday. Will need to force a decision, at least about the skydiving... smile

My first thought was, "Feeling low? Get high in the sky!" Which is not the appropriate response to someone sharing that they are feeling low, and probably why I've gotten myself into a lot of trouble. Validation is much better, good job.

Yes, validate! But she never responds. Me: "I'm always here if you want to talk about it." Her: "Thanks." That's the standard response any time I say something nice.

Hoping she meant that skydiving would cheer her up. I suspect she means that she doesn't want to do it because she is feeling low. One never knows with this creature, but usually "Let me think about it" usually means no.

So, GAL for me, it's going to happen with or without her. But she is well aware that I am doing something I said I never wanted to do, ever. But I had a birthday and an awakening, and I am moving on with my life. Yolo.

On a side note, the legal documents I need to sign are somewhat...disquieting.

Maybe she sees it as a manipulation attempt? "See how much I've changed!"

That's fine, BUT, deep down are you doing it for you, or are you doing it for her benefit? I've written extensively about how the WAS KNOWS if something is being done for their benefit. And they do know.
