Of course she is, because you won't stop with the pressure! No more asking her out on dates. You've got to pull back!

She likes going out on dates, dinner, movies, etc. And we have fun together. If I stop asking and make myself scarce, maybe she'll miss it...or maybe she'll go out with (also unhappily married) friends instead. Doesn't that have the potential for a worse outcome?

She's leaving town for like a week next week to help her dad move into a retirement community. She often comes back from those trips emotionally spent while she stews on how terrible I am. I'm really dreading this.
