I did try what you suggested. The setting wasn’t the greatest, but we were alone. I was doing the dishes and W was decorating a couple of cakes that someone ordered for a retirement party. The convo was short, so it was easy to remember. These are exact quotes.
WB: It’s been over a week now since I gave you that letter. I would really like to hear if you have any comments about it. MrsWB: I didn’t think it required comments. WB: Well, it doesn’t really. It was just my feelings about us and I was hoping you would have some reaction to it. MrsWB: (about 2 minutes of silence) WB: Didn’t you have any reaction to it? MrsWB: It was nice.
Then she changed the subject and started talking about the cakes.
Should I have continued probing? I got the distinct impression that she didn’t want to talk about it.
