If I would have been focused on just having a nice time together then I wouldn't be where I am right now. My pushing to deal with the past made her feel forced or pushed. My mistake that I feel I need to correct. But with your insight into it I can see how there is nothing I can do.

Finding time to enjoy being together may be difficult now that she filed. But I know every interaction is an opportunity. She said she enjoys our time together but working on us hurts.

Thanks for the insight Sandi, I will be backing off and just trying to have enjoyable interactions with her.

I should have stayed calm and let her dictate the pace when she said she didn't know how to move forward. We were no where near a position for piecing. I Definitely misjudged that.

I feel I should apologize for pressuring her with the exercises, but I doubt that is a good idea. It would probably just be for me, not for her.
