I did this so many times, and she would either refuse to tell me or say "I should not have to tell you".

This always left me confused and searching my brain for the answers to her mystery statements. Clearly she was trying to communicate soething to me, but why woulnd't she just articulte it? Why did she want me to jump through hoops trying to figure out what she wanted or needed from me?



This seems to me that she doesn't really know and she's jerking you around. I know my H will stop and say "What do you think?" in just the same way. I finally realized that he didn't want to take responsibility for the problems so would foist them off on me. Maybe that's what she's doing?
