Oh don't worry, I'm sticking entirely to non-physical stuff...or at least I'm not initiating anything. I did try to reassure her about it.
I wasn't going to initiate contact, but after yesterday I just wanted to get a sense whether the talking part of our R is still good. I called and basically just chitchatted a bit then let her go. I didn't make mention of the incident or ask how she was doing. I was hoping by not making anything of it that she would feel comfortable.
Anyway, JRB and Gabriel I think your read is spot on. I have tried to validate her concerns if she has them. I need a woman though to tell me how to get her to express them. It's usually so vague...like when she says "cotton-candy on the brain" or "it feels like I'm walking through deep water". I don't know what that means in terms of what she thinks of our R. It usually comes up when are R is good. I try the "what do you mean by that.", but haven't really got a good feel from her. Maybe I need a venusian translator. I think when she has cemented her thought processes that she'll come right out and tell me.
Oh well. I better get some work done. I have cotton candy on my own brain today.
