No, I understand. And I agree that at some point, this discussion was necessary. But I think staying up last night to just point out that you 'were tired' and head off to bed was kinda weak.

I think you may have been better served going to bed last night, and having this discussion tomorrow after she can see that you WONT be disrespected. Its like, you purposely let her disrespect you last night and then told her that you wont accept it again - but it doesnt come across as coming from a place of strength when you JUST LET HER disrespect you on purpose.

You understand what Im saying?

She said she was sorry and they she wouldnt do it again. Then she started trying to talk about the R again saying she didnt think it was working and that she didnt think i care. I basically told her i do care and tried to avoid any further discusson.


She really told off on herself with those actions.

As i continued watching football she tried to come over and cuddle so i told her i was tired and was going to bed.


She was temp checking to see if you would respond to her physical cooing. You did right in not responding and acting as if you were interested.

Quote:
Then this morning she was off seemed depressed and i kept catching her just stairing at me as i was getting myself and S1 ready for the day.


This is to be expected. When a woman knows she can control the man through physical affection, she uses it to stop him from being upset, or to get herself out of hot water, or to get her way. Don't think she hasn't done it before. She bounced on that little tactic way too quickly. She wanted to assure herself that she still had you in the palm of her hand.

Then the next morning she is puzzled b/c she doesn't understand why her usual tactic didn't work on you last night. She'll sigh and look all sad, etc. Just ignore it and do NOT ask her if she's okay or if anything is wrong. These two questions are to be deleted from your brain. All it does it open the door for more of her R talk.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!

Keep you your schedule as usual. You S1 is important to keep that time. It looks like she wants to free up her evenings after you would return from the gym. If you go later it isn't so easy for her to get out since she has to wait until you return. But I'm sure she was thinking of how it is better for you to go first. LOL.
