You gave W some great examples of you showing your love. You also explained why this love thing is a struggle for you. We do learn through watching relationships while growing up and if all we have to go by are crappy ones then we are kind of SOL until we can trial and error our way to the right place. Even so, nobody is perfect as is no R and her having expectations otherwise is not practical.
I am sorry about your day, I know it was hard on you. The calls from the W may have been positive or she may have just wanted to talk more since you were sharing such deep and sensible explanations to her complaints.
