We don't have to have deep relationship talks (we can do that with a MC), but I do think we need to talk. How can we rebuild any closeness with each other if we're talking LESS than before, and before was awful?
your having a deep R talk about not having a deep R talk.
WORDS kill feelings. its that simple.
Choco, I really truly understand what you are going thru. Im not trying to criticize you. Look at it more along the lines of 'Hey stupid, dont piss on the electic fence.' I know it *seems* to make sense to you to try honestly ask her to stop hurting your feelings.
I could go thru your email and point out all the placating and supplicating you are doing in it, if you want me too. If it will help you I will.
To sum up, if you are asking-- you are supplicating. If you are trying to couch the words 'correctly' or 'nicely' you are placating. Sit still, work on you, be proud of you, forgit OM.
