It's Time To Rock; Part II

[gr8 day 2B alive]

I would actually love an opportunity for her to really open up to me and give me a chance to validate, agree, etc. The thing is though, she has kept a perfect poker face through all of this so far.

Totally can relate, my W didn't show anything for month. But don;t let that discourage you, even though it APPEARS she's showing nothing, she IS in fact watching your moves and how you act/react to things. I know this b/c my W told me after we tried to R.

It actually led to our problems. She didn't stand up to me, didn't tell me how much I hurt her. She just bottled it up until it burst. It seems like she is doing the same thing now. Keeping all of her emotions bottled up, at least towards me.

CS, again, my W had huge problems expressing her needs and wants. She was also too proud to ask for any help.
Unfortunately she is still like this. They have to want to change for themselves.

At some point do I probe for her to open up to me?

When she is ready she will open up. Don't chase a cat they will always run away.
What you need to do is keep making postive changes when you see her. That will entice her to take a second look at you.
That's how you get the cat to come to you.

I think I am just going through a period where my patience is waning.

We all go through this so don't beat yourself up.
Tough situations go away, tough people don't.
Are you tough?
Do the work.
