I have stuck to my guns with the no R talk. I have been very patient and have waited for her to initiate it because this is the advice I always get. (exception MrBond).
On the other hand I always hear,"Do what works". Well, this isn't working. As time goes by I can see she is less tense and looks to be more comfortable. I would love to think these are baby steps, but the more comfortable she gets, the farther away she gets from me. She is detaching.
I could tell the tenseness and everything right after the bomb was guilt. She felt bad for what she was doing to me. Now, she is getting the impression that I am going to be o.k. with all of this, and she is letting go.
I know everyone is going to say I am mind reading, but it looks pretty obvious to me.
