I understand your thought process I do. Maybe I could have chosen a better verb than that. However, I make no apologies for 'my' feelings either. I felt as though given the recent climate of our relationship the rollercoaster I'm on at that point in time her questioning about where I was and who I was with really didn't sit well with me at that time. So hence the 'humor' her came into play. I'm not perfect I've more than accepted my faults. As far as the comment about treating her like a kid that's because I always, always check on her. For instance we were in Paris and she was walking close to the street I grabbed her arm gently and out her on the inside of the street and me closer to the street. Well she didn't like that I was "being too protective". Well if you've been to Paris you know they drive like maniacs. I'm a southerner and I was raised that way.
What I'm learning is that's not what she likes. It's not her "love language" she likes to feel independent and the way I was brought up was very traditional. So I'm learning to back off.
