I am glad to hear you are going to stop dwelling. It did wonders for me.
I think I feel love from her but I don't know why she can't say it. She is from a family that keeps their feelings pretty quiet. I hadn't looked at the vulnerability angle but that could be it. When we were really struggling she made statements that I had broken her heart and it could never be unbroken. She also said she could never love me again. Maybe she is afraid to go back on these statements. I honestly don't know what to think. I hope it isn't that she is still questioning her love for me.
We are both looking forward to a little get away for our 10th Anni. next week. I will be curious to hear what she may have to say regarding OR. I doubt very much but who knows.
I am still very tired because we stayed up late last night putting texture on the walls. I troweled it on and she brushed it. It looks great and was fun to do. We are in a good place right now, I hope that it lasts for awhile.
