I should trust my intuition. I have always been empathic and know something is up. What I believe to work and not work is dead on. I will trust myself to still maintain one-way texts and even relationship talks when appropriate. They work in my case. So going dark isn't the way, though knowing when to give space is important. Something happened that caused a rift that I didn't know about, and that was causing my confusion in her behavior. As is often the case, she will hold something in, punish me for it, and then later tell me what is bothering her.
So...if Im understanding correctly, you want to keep doing things your way? How has that worked so far?
In reading this, it comes across like a jerk. And that wasnt my intention. I guess my point is that it seems weird to come a board, collect advice and thoughts from several people and then say "Im right. Im going to do it my way."
It's your life, and it's a heck of a lot easier to give advice that to actually put that into practice. Its just odd to me the way this is worded and it struck a chord.
As to your last question, no, I dont think you should try to tell her she needs to change or should change or should be introspective. Take your focus off of her and put it on you.
