I agree with TH --- there is nothing more irritating than a man trying to tell a woman how or what to feel. My H is constantly doing that, and I have started telling him that I will feel what I feel, and I don't need him to tell me any differently. It's one of the reasons I have finally decided to end our M of 24.5 years.

I also agree with Puppy on how to respond, by stating your feelings and what your boundaries are. That way, she knows exactly where she stands, and can make her decisions based on that. And, you know what you want and if she can't give it to you (and soon) then I think you know what you have to do.

Life is too short ... take it from me. Don't linger on this too long. She either wants you and the family life or not. Fun can be had within the family group, and fun without guilt. How long does she want to take deciding? I think you should give her your timetable and see where that goes.
