Is this the end of my marriage?

[P17]

Now I completely agree that this could be overanalysing but when does monitoring the results cross the line into becoming overanalysing. That situation could be entirely nothing BUT I can't remember those two situations before so for me they are results. It's a tiny TINY baby step but it's more than I've had before.

You're right, this IS one of the hardest things to balance in all of DBing. The ol' "How do I monitor 'what works,' and not 'pursue/overanalyze'??"

I would say, "I notice that when I've spent the week GALing and doing 180s, she moves back towards me" is monitoring. GOOD. "When I chop onions, and I whistle Abba, and she sings, and then when I stop, she stops," is overnalyzing. NOT GOOD.

Well, you made me smile ... point taken.
