Those type of TM's from your W are exactly the way you should be doing with her. Wait for her to iniate the next TM and keep her waiting a while before you respond. When you finally respond, you keep it down to two or three words.
See how your mind is working reading her response? That should be her thinking about your TM.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
