When i'm out in the garden in GAL mode doing my own thing - she comes out to me to talk/ask/show me something;
She makes us both a nice lunch and we sit together - we'll not too close! - and talk and chat.
She's cooking evening meal - i offer to help and indeed do, (one of my 180's) we end up laughing and joking in the kitchen.
Brick wall is still there though. When she realises that we are having fun it's almost as if she conciously reminds herself to stop and the ice queen returns. No warmth, no eye contact and body language gives away that she's not getting too close - physically or emotionally.
She asked me what her mother had said to me on the phone, was she helping, being helpful? I said well i think that is between you're mother and me really. I heard a big sigh as i walked out of the kitchen...
I walked back into the kitchen to see her on her phone; she turned to me like a caged animal ready to pounce - she was just waiting for me to say something phone related and we would have had an arguement there and then. I didn't say anything, thankfully and the situation was diffused.
I'm learning..
