I would have either not told her what I did and remained mysterious or flat out lied and said you went out with some friends. She is sniffing around a little bit and that is good.

You saying that you were just at your brother's place makes you sound like a solid plan b when she should be wondering what you're up to and who you are out with. The only time I would say I was at my brother's place is if I knew she wouldn't believe it in order to make her wonder.

Don't pry, she'll speak when and if she is ready. I know you want this big talk where she jumps back into your arms but you won't be the one to initiate that.

Making a comment on her bag is not detachment either. Detachment is so vital to this. It's hard to see why but you need to read and absorb that part.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
