I don't think it was manipulative Tim. In truth I was feeling lower than usual and didn't feel like giving as much as I normally do. At the time I thought I'd observe her and see if the extra "space" I was giving her would prompt her to take up the reigns but I didn't notice any difference - probably because I was giving off a negative vibe. I am feeling great at the moment and have given 2 (or is it 3) ILYs so far and quite a lot of physical touches simply because I can't help myself and it's only 10am. She seems more receptive too. I am slowly getting through PM but I find it heavy going. I tend to get to the end of a page and realise that I can't remember a word I've just read. I used to have this problem with Maths fomulae. My eyes just skip over them. It's the same with psychological stuff. I am forming an impression of differentiation though and certainly identify with "gridlock". I'm sure that some part of differentiation is having the confidence to bring up and deal with sensitive subjects that have become taboo of which we have many. SD
