Hairy, It sounds like she didn't mind the grade until it came time to follow through with the MC assignment. I can see why she was hesitant to start that night..given the morning's events..but she could have begged off in a nice way.
She seems unable to do this, doesn't she? If she knows she is about to do something that will disappoint, rather than do that, she picks a fight so that you will be the bad guy.
Would it be a 180 to say to her, "W is this about last night and not starting the schedule? Cause I'm okay with it." I'm sure she would argue vociferously with that statement but the words would be OUT THERE and would be percolating in her brain, nonetheless.
Quote: I will initiate a "special time" together, with no expectation of ML, but I will be firm that we spend time touching, away from the TV, which is what we agreed upon in the MC's office.
Why would you have no expectations of ML? Wasn't that the agreement? Or was it truly just to have snuggle time?
