I see what you are saying, she does tell me she sees the changes that I have made and that I am trying very hard. She has also been telling me what problems she has when I ask. I let her know that I am not trying to fix the problems but help her work through them. I took you advice and have been listening to her and she seems to be happier. I still have problems with her contradictions between actions and statements.
I also asked her if she felt like I was smothering her and she said no. I also asked if she wanted me to continue making plans for us on the weekends and she said yes she enjoys going out with me. I have also let her know how much I appreciate her and the time she spends with me.
We started climbing this past weekend and she loves it. I asked if she wanted to do this together because you need two people to climb. She said yes so it's an activity we can do together .
