Okay, let me twist your arm a bit then. lol. Look, obviously you are going to do what you feel is right for you and, as I have said in the past, I don't think it necessarily is a bad thing to state your feelings in a very open and direct manner to her. I guess the point is, don't go looking for answers, just open up, be honest and let it go from there. If she feels like taking it a step further, she will. If not, its best to jump ship on the convo and re-assess. The distinction here is that I don't think you should go into it with a mind of seeking reassurances from her. Its likely you won't get them and you'll only spiral downward.

I understand you when you say that its not likely that she will ever broach the subject herself. Like my W, this just isn't their thing. But, when the time is right, she WILL likely be resonsive to your thoughts and feelings and will open up in response to you.

Good luck to you in any choice of action you decide upon. I'm hoping that your weekend goes well and look forward to your posts on Monday!
