Over the Shock and GALing 6

I think I see what is the problem. The way you are phrasing stuff is asking her to "give up" something. Even if it is time. She's still getting over the OM, so everything you say no matter what it is, is going to p*ss her off.

So instead of asking her or even stating things to her, just say... "I'm planning to go out on Thursday. If you are planning to go out too, let me know so I can arrange a sitter." Just matter of fact. This way she doesn't "perceive" that you are inconveniencing her.

Even on the example of the vacation day where you want to do something. Just say, "I want to do this on this day. If you'd rather do something else, you can go ahead and do it."

Don't even attempt to get her or have her thinking that you are having her do something. Change the scenario where it is all about you and you don't give a flying f*ck what she wants to do.
