DS - On reflection, you're right. I probably shouldn't have said so much in my response. It was late and I was in the middle of sorting my accounts out, and her text broke my concentration somewhat. I did wait half an hour to respond though.
Ginger - well she certainly didn't tell me before lol! When she 'caught' me the 2nd time (pics on my phone), back in 2017/18, she didn't mention it or threaten me with it then. She suggested counselling but because of my NGS I didn't think it was necessary (do the same thing over and over again, get frustrated when it doesn't work out, but keep doing it anyway in the hope that it'll work one day).
She was essentially waiting for me to change, without bringing it up regularly. She told me this in person: "I didn't say anything because I thought you'd figure it out yourself. But no, you didn't."
We were definitely not having the DB/DR style of conversations like: "When you do [x], I feel [y]. I am concerned about [x]. I would like to discuss this and see if we can move forward and so I can stop feeling [y and you feel more comfortable etc. etc]."
