Thanks for your comments and support. Yes, she actually asked the counsellor at the end if we could have longer sessions, so it's hard to take this as a negative sign. My goal was to listen and really try to give her room without getting defensive, so that there could be a second session! A small step.
Miss her terribly today though...I got a one line email from her today saying "Good to see you yesterday" and then confirming the next session dates. I was hoping (stupidly) for a little more warmth...and a few more words would have been nice! I feel frustrated, but I'm thinking this is probably the usual thing that people talk about here with the partner getting closer and then pulling back. What do you think?
I really miss her today...feel frustrated at the same time with her...now starting to play my favorite game in my head of taking any positives (or neutrals) from yesterday and turning them on their head to make it hopeless. But it is so hard to see the hope sometimes!! : \
