During the time that you have known your ex, has she demonstrated a history of 'emotionally shutting down'?
Yes, she has had relationship problems with her family and close friends. She don't speak to her 2 brothers and has written off three of her close friends. She was sexually abused as a child and I do beleive this has something too do with her personality. She has never told anybody other than me and has never sought treatment.

Either your are showing your blatant disregard for this advice or you have simply forgotten what DBing is all about because you broke the cardinal rule of saying ILY.
I got caught up in her wanting to work on the R and did let my feeling fly around too much.
I did re-read DB this weekend and have already started backing off. I will not intiate any contact, will not be returning her texts or phone calls right away, going to stop the excessive complimnets, no ILY's and no more cards or flowers.
