DB progress is for you. GAL helps you move on healthy and happy. Not to get her back. Sometimes it has that side-effect, but if you DB with one eye on her reaction, whether or not she is noticing, whether or not it is having an effect on her, she will see right through.

Drop the rope. DB for you.

Good on you to stay focused on GAL, and awesome that you get to spend a lot of time with your daughter!

You answered you own question before asking it... You don't look for signs. Just GAL. By actively looking for sign, you are holding on to a rope that you clearly need to drop in order to progress in your situation.

You come off as GAL'ing in order to save your relationship, however your outlook should instead be focused on GAL'ing in order to save yourself regardless of the outcome of your relationship - see what I am getting at?

Mind reading into her emotions, holy cow thats some next level voodoo - best stay clear of that, and just be calm, content and upbeat, regardless of her emotional display.
