Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Thinker]

that is huge!

Not really a huge change in direction - just a midcourse correction to the thought process that has crept into my mind over the last day or so.

But is definitely something I need to remember every time I see her being tense, etc. It has been confusing to me, because she is her with her mom and her family and she is happy, laughing, etc - then we are alone together and all of the sudden she is tense and distant. My interpretation has been to look at the change and interpret it as:

"She is stressed because now we are alone together and she feels pressure over our R" This puts me under pressure and stresses me out. I respond badly.

In actuality, it is more likely to be:

"She is stressed because now we are quiet together and there are fewer distractions, so her worries about her family come out" This is easy to respond to - just be quietly supportive.
