Sandi,

[quote]Today for example I brought up the R even tho I knew I shouldn't and got exactly what I knew was coming. Just a steel cold stare. I told her it was not what I wanted and she just looked at me and said you said this was the only way you would stay. quote]

after sleeping on it and thinking back I still am not sure what I agreed to but I remember we were talking and she was saying that she knew I wanted a romantic relationship and that she did not. When she said that I kind of just shut down and tried to end the conversation as quickly as I could. She might have even said something about separating and I said no and just agreed to live like that. It is not what I wanted but I didn't stand up for myself.
