I did not say she was digging up ammo to defend herself. There is no need for such a thing, as far as I am concerned. It is my impression she gave up on our M long ago, and got to the point that she did not want to reconnect. Maybe that is permannent. The move for the D certainly suggests that. I told her I understood she wanted a D and that I thought is was a wrong move, and that I disagreed. I am not giving her a D because it is what she wants. I am giving her a D because it was clear that continual refusal was going to cause ongoing, alienating pain. Maybe I am a moron.
