I spoke with my psychologist yesterday (first couples counselling) and she stated that the reason for my WWs and I heightened arousal is that the body fears loss. It holds on even tighter when it knows that it might be the last time.
I still need to show my WW some emotion so that she can at least hold onto something, but this is going to be a difficult few months at first, until the R is back.
Just cos things are going right, doesn't mean that they were always wrong.
