*I* needed a break from WAW’s moodiness and some time to think.
It is so healthy that you can see her moodiness for what it is, and at least for now, you are able to check-out for a while. What is your strategy for when you no longer have the apartment? I wonder how she felt, presumably her moodiness was due to some 'difficulty', and then realising that she can no longer take it out on you. Ouch.
She doesn’t like some of the confident (cocky) things I now do – specifically when she tells me that I look nice, I answer, with “I know” or “do you like it?”. She said a simple thanks will do. It is “out of character” for me. It was a buzz kill.
This is strange. Usually when we compliment someone, we do it because we want to express our perspective. Neither of your responses seemed out of order, and for her to take exception suggests she may have had a different agenda, no?
It's great that she can open up to you, Sven. I've been piecing for 2 years and am constantly amazed at just how much more there is to do with me, never mind the other person
