That was better, GW. As long as you did not sound as if you were pouting when you gave your one-two word answers. Hard to tell at times when reading somebody's written responses. Some men have a problem with detaching and applying short sentences when their S asks questions, etc., but if you can do that without sounding like, "I'm sulking b/c you were mean to me", then that is fantastic.
You are too close to see the things that pop out to us, so if you can hang in here and accept what we tell you, then you are tough and determined to do what needs to be done. That says a lot about what kind of man you are.
Even in a matter of a few hours, do you see the principle of how that worked when you pulled back....and she drew in closer?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
