Ok, first off... remember- BABY STEPS!!! The sex part, is good, IMO.

Now, speaking from a woman's perspective...

Her fight is in herself, period. It has nothing to do with you. It is soooo painfully obvious to me after reading many of your posts and your interaction. She is only tormenting herself with her own determination to 'fight' what she knows in her heart to be true... how do I know this? Because I am a woman, and believe me, she wants to appear cold and callus, even calculated, roll things off her back, etc etc... but her view point is being ruled by her emotions, pure and simple. Therefore, she ventured, reached out to you, had unprotected sex, then realized that she's 'suppose to be mad at you', withdrew and retreated... confused. Not all that uncommon for someone who is determined to win at what they fell is a power struggle or battle of wits, IMO.

Now, I have to mention something about that unprotected sex, because, I know it all to well. This may be (or not, could be a conscious decision, who knows with woman) her unconscious way of 'creating a connection' by means of 'if I get pregnant, than I'll have another excuse to prevent me from leaving.' That takes the pressure off of HER, and displaces it on to what's best for the children... now I have, instead of one child, CHILDREN with this man. It's similar to the girls who get pregnant thinking it's going to 'fix their relationships' mantra. But, and there is always a but... something they regret later, because their struggle is within themselves, not you.

I could be totally wrong, but I just have a gut feeling on this one.

Remember... baby steps. Slow and steady, mate.
