Men often push so hard to stop the D b/c they see it as the end, forever. Maybe it would help you if you stopped looking at it that way. (Again, don't tell her what I am telling you.). You may be able to move on, or you may be able to find your way back to each other. But for gosh sakes stop pushing her.


The thing about the pushing is I felt pressure from her in working on the M. She was getting frustrated that we were not farther along with our R. She was sick of the limbo and wanted to see progress. I wasn't aware or conscience enough to notice that I was pushing the pace. It is obvious now, especially when she said she enjoys our time together but working on us is painful and makes her angry. I was working from a fearful or scared emotion instead of calming down and using DB techniques.
