I may have heard my reply this morning. As she was waiting for D to get ready before they both went to the Dr. (they are both sick now), she said this:
"I'm sorry I am so boring to you."
When I asked if she meant while she has been sick, she just clammed up. I think this was her reply to the "love letter"?!?! I may try to ask her what she meant again later but I am taking this as:
"Sorry I can't/won't do anything to change the way that I am now."
If this is true, it is a breakthrough of sorts... just not in the direction I have been hoping for.
I will try to continue this conversation with her later so I won't be guessing at what she is trying to tell me.
