Psych and RH... I think you two are doing a great job working this kind of stuff through, together...
You both know DB techniques and have been doing the work, so while you might be stumbling in your own sitches, you certainly can offer "the word" as it were, of DBing...
And as Jack stated... you've made the ask, now move on... if your W does not give, it is probably not because she did not hear you... not that she did not understand what you were asking for...
It's most likely because she can't or won't give you what you asked for... at least not right now...
It does not have to mean that you stop asking for other things that you might want, that she might be willing to give...
But keep it slow... remember... marathon... never too much at once and never too fast...
