Quote: Easter was awkward, later when she said that she thinks I don't love her and don't act like I do I said I love her, and hugged her.
You know what that was, right?
I think I know, but please give your opinion.
Also how to react in similar/same situation in future would be helpful.
Most women who say things like this, are playing the man. She is manipulating him. In the example above, I think she was temp checking you. She knew when she told you that she didn't think you loved b/c you don't act like you do......she knew you would say what she wanted to hear, plus she got her physical affection from you. Women know perfectly well what they are doing, when they say things like she did.
In the future, don't say anything. But if you feel you have to acknowledge her, say something extremely vague.....or answer her with a question. For example, when she says you don't act like you love her, say something like, "Why do you think so?" She's say b/c you never hug or kiss me, and you reply with, "Why do you suppose that is?" If that gets too dizzy going around and around, just shrug your shoulders and say, "This has been hard on all of us". Not to get into a R talk, but to not bend to her manipulation. Leave her with her thoughts. You don't have to comfort her when she plays these little games.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
