Made what could have been a critical mistake today, but got by with it. She texted me a question, and instead of just answering it and going on, I added "Why?"
. . .
The hardest part for me is I don't know what she is thinking and if this is having any effect on her at all.
Here's the thing, L4S:
Either does she.
In her current state, even if she had ANSWERED your question, you would have gotten -- at BEST -- no useful information, and at worst, gaslighting, obfuscation, spin and deceit that may have taken you completely OFF YOUR GAME.
There is simply nothing useful from the mind a wayward, insofar as it being a clue as to how YOU should operate.
