"Glob, glob, glob" Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Although splat is probably the closest sound.
OK. I've already done one 180, I've completely stopped badgering her about relationship issues, in fact I haven't even mentioned them in the past 2 days.
As far as convos go, I guess I do always try to validate students when they speak up in class because I don't want them to stop asking questions or responding to mine. I thought I was doing something similar to W, but maybe I was not being as understanding of her because I know she is extremely intelligent.
"be confident and strong" In terms of affection, what does that mean? Right now the affection I give her is several hugs a day from behind with a whispered I love you in her ear. Gentle pats on whatever part of her body is closest when I walk by. Rubbing her leg or giving her a foot massage when she sits on the couch watching TV, and caressing her body while she lays in bed when I leave in the morning for work or while we are falling asleep. Are any of those grabby or needy?
"cheerful and happy" That will be tough, but I'll try.
"now is not the time" Read you loud and clear the last time.
"Recollect me darlin, raise me to your lips, two undernourished egos, four rotating hips"
