Sooner, Your plan sounds good and if it is different from things you've done in the past, you certainly should give it a try and stick with it for a while. You sound like a really nice guy and I do wonder whether you've ever gotten to the point of getting angry at her, not poutiing, just really getting angry and being less available to her emotionally. I know this sounds different from what you're doing and I think you really should stick with your plan for now because it is the better first choice. But if she doesn't respond, it might mean that she feels that she can take you and all that you do for granted. So start with your plan but ask yourself whether you've ever really pulled back emotionally for a while. That's hard to do, I know. Just a thought. Michele
