Gotta Keep Trying 2

[Dia]

Ya know, I've been thinking about this for a few days. I know your plate is so full, esp. with your grandfather on top of everything else, but I keep thinking that I'm seeing more withdrawal after being hurt than the detachment you're describing? Is that possible or am I reading it wrong?

I'm also wondering if you may have, maybe even unconsciously, closed off some of the avenues for your W to have comforted or supported you so that you wouldn't get (overtly) rejected in your time of need?

I really struggled with asking to sleep in the master bed that one night, and struggled even harder to get the do-over after I backed off. But finally I decided that I've got to be willing to ask for what I need and take the risk - because if I don't ask, then I don't get for sure. And if I do ask and he's willing to give it even a little - well that's information I need to have if I'm going to make sound, fact-based decisions about my sitch and my future.

Hope I'm not reading too much of my stuff onto yours!
