I ended up going into house too. In a nutshell, told her "Every day you keep him in your life, is a day you're pushing me further away. <shrug> But yea, I love you too." My "I love you" didn't really have any emotion to it, kinda perfunctory.
EDF,
I read that and I felt like I was kicked in the nuts. How do you feel about it?
I'm terrible at the DB stuff, but it sure seems like she's trying to keep you on the hook. I guess some people would say "temp checking." She wants to keep both of you. What could be better (from her perspective)?
I think a kind-of perfunctory "I love you" requires a strong response, but I'm a meanie, just ask my WW.
