W can't break EA - not sure how to handle it

I agree with both posters above. She is SCARED, and keeping her space/slowing things down a bit helps to keep the pressure off her. A return to pressure will mean a return to *Walking*.

You handled it very well. Don't push or pressure, be satisfied with baby steps. In my sitch, there were definitely times when one or both of us needed some 'away time' to process, to deal with feelings, etc., as we moved closer together. We were lucky, in a way, that I was gone so many weekends dealing with the death of my grandmother as it gave us that space and never let the pressure build too high.

Don't let this throw you - it's a GOOD thing.
