She arrived home from work tired and emotional. I went to give her a hug. She went insane!
I really didn't expect that - I think I have undone days of work
Did you think the R was better b/c there was more daily contact from her, or b/c the conversations were more positive? I could see how that would be misleading, but you would be doing yourself a favor by not placing a lot of value to things like this. B/c you start reading more into her actions than is really there. You set yourself up for disappointment.
I strongly urge you not to touch her for now. If she leans in to hug you, you can give back at the same degree she's giving you. If her LL is not touch, she doesn't want it from you.
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!
