I get what you're saying, but I didn't know how to force a more substantial answer from her. She was so pissed off throughout the night about our finances that it was all we could do to be civil to each other.
And you're right about her self-esteem. She wants attention, but at the same time, doesn't trust it from me because I KNOW her. When she gets attention from other people, it feels better, Weird psychology.
And as usual, I'm clueless to the solution right in front of me. Play hard to get? Don't give her attention? Start doing my own thing? Try to think of fun things to do together?
When she was complaining about me not talking to her much when she was on her trip, she said I withdraw when things get tough. So I wanted to avoid doing that. But, it did make her give me more attention...
