So, wise DBers. Need more advice on responding.

She just replied to an older email about the house or something, but with an entirely different topic - more of my failures, past transgressions and her ideas of how things can't change. I think she's just ranting and it might be best to let it slide. My heart wants to respond but my head says to stay the course and let this one slide by.

Here is the gist of what she said:

"you can't undo feelings bad or good. [cut out specifics of some bad attempts of mine at drawing attention to some intimacy problems]. You know my failures."

"You can't make someone love you. And it wasn't that I don't want sex I just don't want it with someone who treats me like you and you should understand that isn't something that can be changed."

Ouch! Sorry if it's TMI, but I really need to be careful here in LRT territory. DB coach Joann reminded me that we can work on this stuff later (if there's a later) but right now I need to focus on not doing what doesn't work.
