I agree that from her perspective I wasn't listening, and I was controlling. I have gone back in my head and agree with her perspective as I cannot make her think any other way so regardless I have to believe that was my behavior. And since I cannot remember what we argued about I can agree that I was not listening. I did listen to many things that I feel were overlooked, but that is not the issue at hand. The issue is that I do need to listen better and comprehend and retain, even when I feel it is an insignificant issue, if she brings it up then it isn't insignificant to her! I need to watch my behavior and words as to not come across as controlling as I never intended to be controlling, she is free to do as she pleases and I have always felt that way, I cannot force anything on anyone.

I have been worried that she may be trying to "test" me with the semi nudity and have been resisting all my urges, thankfully my intense urges come after I am out of the house I have had extreamly self control while at home. I also understand that it is a comfort level but I feel that comfort comes with a level of trust as well. Not saying she fully has regained trust in me but she hasn't fully lost all trust in me. Would you think that could be a fair assessment? I do think the comfortableness has a lot to do with it
