I had to get to the bottom of this. Because that was really loony behavior -- like nothing I've EVER seen from her in 22 years.

She's all twisted up. It's really sad to see. I just had to throw her a life-line. I let her vent and threw HER the bone.

So we're going to have an outing next week, just the 2 of us, no pressure, jut wandering around a local state park.

She's so afraid to be vulnerable to me, I think, that she winds up making herself feel vulnerable by constantly fearing vulnerability and winds up defending against attacks she assumes are going to come -- otherwise why would you feel vulnerable?

Which sucks. I sort of hate feeling sorry for her, esp. because what I want to do is make the hurt go away. Which I can't do.

What does this mean? Do they still do Mexican divorces (as seen on TV)?

And why -- WHY -- do I keep flashing on this scene from "Easy Rider"? http://tinyurl.com/dehgra
