Seattle, I like this. Don't ask to explore it more though, just leave the door open for her.
PMA and smiles DO help. I agree, have seen that work a lot with my H.
I like letters and they worked really well for me for a long time. It's hard to give them though... you have to really let the expectations go and let it be enough that you said something true and honest and that you feel good about. Use lots of "I" language... took me way too long to do that consistently because I was hurting, but it made for much better communication when I smartened up.
Thank you SO much for your sweet words. You really know how to boost the ole PMA. Maybe I should print them out or put them on my thread for when I get blue, LOL.
I think your conversations sound like you're doing fine. Keep up the light stuff and no pressure.
