I truly feel your frustration on this one. with that being said, i'm going to be very honest w/you:
Your posts all are going in the same direction. It appears you are falling into the cheeseless tunnel theory. You know what you have to do, you have said several times that the 180 is to not initiate intimacy, but then something happens and you can not do that. This sets the whole thing in motion. For the 180 to work, you need to hold true to it otherwise its the same trap. I know its frustrating w/no intimacy, really i do, but you need to find a way not to initiate, not to talk about it.....otherwise, it's just the cheeseless tunnel theory!!!!!
i know you can do it, that's what got you from newcomers to piecing....do it again and i'm sure you'll have the same effects on her!!!!
