it's not about the oven mitts. you are not listening to the messages she is sending.

Sounds like a double standard to me.

She's wrong for following her feelings.
But you follow your feelings and it's ok?

This is not going to be "sooo hard!!",
you only "feel" it is,
maybe you should start looking at the big picture,
everything will be ok, everything will turn out the way it's supposed to turn out.

There are two kinds of people (well actually there's a $hitload more types of people but humor me in my example),

1. those who can see the goal without being obscured or thrown off by the obstacles that may come up along the way to achieving that goal; they are also usually positive, optimistic, very attractive type people

2. then there are those who can't see the goal because all they see are the obstacles along the way and they're just afraid and negative and pessimistic, not very attractive either

Which one are you?

I will say # 2 for you.

You can change this, this is under your control.
The only thing stopping you is you.

My Grandfather used to say, "There are two types of people. No, that's not right. There are three types of people. No, that's not right either. There are all kinds of people, but some of them....".

she knew you were out,
she didn't assume where though,
maybe she thought you were at the pub but she didn't know for sure.

It obviously had nothing to do with oven mitts, you're smarter than that.

Listen, you have shown signs that you are no longer wanting to tolerate the current status quo with her, but you haven't completely detached. You are showing her though that you don't like it and you''re slowing becoming unglued to her, so she is checking your status, she'll sometimes take your temperature (rectal thermometer anyone?), give her real fear of loss and watch things change in a heartbeat.

The Pinheads are a secret society no one knows if they are real or just fiction. Only the Pinheads know for sure.
