I don't think she's trying to punish me. Personally I think she's struggling big time. I think she realizes she f'd up and when she doesn't think about it for a while, she's fine. Then something reminds her of what happened and she's in a funk that shows itself as anger towards me. I think with the way she was Saturday night, she's probably facing her demons. Like Break posted to me, you feel so foolish, so used, it's tough to face. I can imagine that last night was the first time she had a chance to be alone and think about it. I imagine that when we talked and I asked her if she knew about him having A's prior to her and she acknowledged she did, that that might have been the first time she saw it in the light of what it really was. Some other things I said probably made her come to the realization of what it really was.
And that's got to be hard to take.
Maybe there is some anger with me because she could now be thinking "where was this person when I needed him 2 years ago?" and that's where the anger comes from?
Who knows?
I hear you WDID when it comes to the communications. I get it. I really do. But with her comment that she's always had trouble opening up to me, I just don't feel like it's the right thing to do to push it this minute.
I plan on some time this evening saying to her "I'm here if you want to talk". No pressure. No forcing the conversation. Just give her the chance to open up if she wants to. If she doesn't want to, then I'll leave her alone.
She's got to figure this out on her own. And if there's some anger involved because of my perceived faults and/or her own issues, I can deal with it.
Thanks for the comments.
