Quote: Maybe it was the QT (her LL, isn't it?) that made her feel very close to you and opened up her emotions to an uncomfortable level. Then, when you followed up with PT, something she is **sometimes** comfortable with, her emotional balance is upset.
Yes. I think I'm seeing this pattern more and more clearly, and I'm learning to account for it. "3 steps forward and 2 steps backward." We go through cycles where she seems to get really close and comfortable and then backs off. This morning, talk was mostly limited to good morning and have a nice day sort of stuff. When I came home for lunch she was definitely closed up, drawn in. It is that time of the month, and she did say her sinuses were bothering her, but it was probably more than that. She is usually quiet and brief with me the morning after we have QT kind of night together.
Quote: When you went into her bedroom that day and she snapped at you
I've kept our early morning interaction as brief and quick as possible since that last episode, and I stay out of her bedroom in the mornings. I've been trying to keep the PT to a minimum, but I feel its good when I do introduce PT and she is ok with it. I think it helps raise her comfort level with me a little. Its just hard sometimes to tell the difference between when she can accept it and when she can't, so I'm trying to err on the side of less PT.
