why must you "stimulate" the conversations?

What SPECIFICALLY did your say you had to work on with communications?

Avoid the R talk. Do not initiate R talk.

IF & When SHE brings it up, if you fear it isn't going well, ask to re-visit it when you're awake enough and with enough of a PMA to handle it.

Don't let it go askew, as it seems to do. Again, do NOT initiate R talk.

You know she doesn't want to discuss it. So don't. It's like bullying.

You won't get anywhere good by pressing her when she's been clear about it.

You build baby steps by having normal NON R talks. Let HER bring up things like

"nice talking to you", Not you pointing out how great it is to have a normal talk.

You are beginning to itch again. You want R talk. This is a mistake, which you've made already, more than once.

At some point, you'll blow it again. This time, stop yourself first.


You think two days of no fighting or a single decent conversation proves something. It doesn't. Two MONTHS might.

Back off.
