Sitting at home with myself, part 2

[Navyguy]

Thanks Harrier, as usual, I think your advice is spot on.

It was really weird...when I apologized for touching her arm, I felt like I had touched it again. Just like you said, I drew unnecessary attention to it. She was already over it, but I reopened the wound (albeit a small one).

I am guessing that the "regression" I am feeling is probably a mixture of in my head and real. Anytime I felt this way before I would always prod W into a R talk... and that played a huge part in driving her out the door. I HAVE to stay patient and positive and let things happen at her speed.

I guarantee that you are exactly right when you say it is a lot of work for her to be in the same area as me...she has even told me that before when she says "if I wasn't working on things I would have left you". I have to get rid of my expectations...or at a minimum, keep them inside.
