I, too, am confused. I didn’t get the part about her ridiculing you. From what you describe, you were hoping for sex and she was [possibly] trying to avoid it? I think you took that personally...hence the irritation and “because I said so”. People who regularly say “we’ll see” and “maybe” could be conflict avoidant but they also could just be buying time until they are able to think things through. I do this with my kids often. Usually because my first reaction tends to be “no” and I want to give it some thought first and understand why it’s a no. Regardless...all of this still sounds like pressure to me and is the opposite of DBing. I get that it is frustrating. I get that you just want to be past this part. I, for one, am very envious that you have the opportunity to do some piecing as my H is solidly out of the home and all indications are that he plans to stay there. Keep working on GAL and DBing RR17. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
