As I mentioned in a previous post I keep setting myself up for failure. I got overly excited, we'll say, when she opened up a little and I continue to expect more. I need to take a step back stay focused and patient.
That could be a big part of her acting mean to you. If I gave the slightest positive word or deed, my H would think all was solved and the M would be fine. Therefore, I made sure that I showed him how I was not fine. I promise you that if you will not give her the time and space she needs, you'll pressure her too much too quickly.
Allow her to have a few good moments and then expect to see her slip back into moodiness. You will burn out before she revives if you don't.
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!
