Ooh, Hairy, you always seem to get conflicting advice don'tcha!
Corri has an excellent point. I do believe that she is responding but the question is: Do you have the intestinal fortitude to stick it out til she figures it out? Cause the passive resistance program is going to take a looooooong time, imo. She's a stubborn woman, remember!
Hey, here's a question for you: When W asked how you were doing, which is a departure for her and indicates to me that she really DID want to know your feelings, why did you say "fine"? Why didn't you tell her the truth and say "I feel sad today"?
IOW, I think that the passive resistance plan, combined with more self revelation, might be the ticket.
