I think she will be moody until she gets through the addiction withdrawal. My suggestion is to be careful you don't put her under a magnifying glass. Don't be asking her how she's feeling (referring to her mood, getting over OM, if she's mad at you, if she feels okay, etc.) b/c this could feel like pressure for her. There may be a lot of days she seems distant and/or depressed. It is not easy going through this.

It is a difficult time for you, as well. You need to support her, be sensitive to what she's going through.....and yet don't smother her. Tough stuff, right?

I think it may help if you try to keep the atmosphere light through the next couple of weeks. Bring home some hilarious movies to watch together. Maybe catch a live show somewhere, or something special going on in town. If she doesn't want to go, don't push. Try to screen out any sad movies/songs b/c she will feel down while going through this.

Continue to show a positive and upbeat attitude. I don't know your personality, but some men over-kill on this when at times they just need to be quite and act normal. There may be times you'll just need to leave her alone.

DBing is not over by a long shot. You have simply entered into another area. It's just as hard work as before. If you're smart, you won't stop.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
