Jmstl's thread-Part 3

There is no need to apologize for projecting yourself. My tone did come across as curt, and I even initiated a message later in the day saying, I apologize if I came off as curt, that was not my intention.

I know I probably should not have done that, but one of our key issues was the area of communication. I want to show that I can be a good communicator, without necessarily opening myself up emotionally in the situation, because I am trying to detach.

I would let her in the past help me with things, yes. The reason I initially said no, was because I was trying to show her that I don't /need/ her help.

When she drops off S1 tonight, should I even ask how she is doing? Or should I just say Hi, answer any questions she may have and walk away?

I want to show her that I can be pleasant to be around. I want her to WANT to come back. But having such limited communication makes that nearly impossible.
