The mattress is just her excuse. If it was fixed, the schedule would be the excuse. If that was fixed, she would say that she sleeps better alone, or something. It's all excuses so that she doesn't have to figure out what she really wants.

I don't think she thinks they are excuses, to her they are real, I'm sure. But, they are all just a cover for the real, deeper reason, whatever that is. I do need to strip the excuses away to work towards that, eventually. But, I think that if she ever decides to explore the reason, it will be through MC, or more likely IC. If I take away her excuses now, she will feel the pressure, and bolt, I think.
