Phil,
No I did not apologize....I see your point though. Now I need to create an opening to insert my apology.
W is on computer now....seems a little colder today. I am encouraged regardiing yesterday's lengthy conversation (a very emotional one where she did a fair bit of crying and hugging when speaking abut her childhood and sister).

Prior to that she asked me an interesting question....whether I would consider going away to a warm weather resort for 1 week with her. I answered yes. She said a year ago you would only go away if D7 was included. I replied that I now realize that the couple or romantic part of the relationship needs to be nurtured.
