More patience??? Really???

Good point Bug, I've gone over in my head a few times to ask her about it. Made an assumption that her lack of response is indicative of her not being ready to have difficult conversations.

Even though I meant it to be a light thing were we just catch up with each other and what is happening, she may have interpreted it as having to have talks about things such as money.

I know that sounds like mind-reading and to some extent it is. But it is also recognizing patterns in my W where she continues to avoid what she is not comfortable with.

Here's what I was thinking of saying to her. Let me know what you think (since what I intend to say and how it sounds can sometimes be very different!)

Basically tell her something to the effect that I had asked about the once a week conversation and that it was meant to be just casual talk to catch up with each other and all that's happening. I would also mention my concern that it may have come across as something more serious in nature and that was not the intent.

Any suggestions on how to word that?
