Hi Merrick,

My gut instinct is to say no, this is not an example of crazymaking (maybe crazy, though). Your W may be a crazymaker too.

Right now, I don't know if she knows what she wants from you. So what means would crazymaking serve? If she wouldn't know what she wanted, how would she know if she was or wasn't receiving it from you?

Again, this is a disclaimer, because she may indeed be a crazymaker.

Personally, I think (based on your past posts) that no matter what you offered, she wouldn't have liked what you had to say. If you agreed to do things her way right off the bat, I really don't see her saying to you, "Wow, Merrick. That's exactly what I need from you. I appreciate your cooperation."

She'd probably have said something along the lines of, "I know why you're doing this, and it isn't going to work. Why can't you just accept what I feel and leave me the F@#$ alone?"

Regardless of the label, I think you probably have the best defense: just keeping quiet and ducking out of the limelight for now.

Seattle, I don't know if the rest of us can truly understand where his W is in her head. At my most vicious, I was receptive to a hug and wanted to communicate with Mr. Wonderful. I was really angry with him, but I wanted to understand things.

But I'll leave that question open for anyone else who has thoughts on the subject.

Hey, Merrick, don't you have a train to catch?
