I really was not indicating anything about her communication style. In this case, I was wondering if she was afraid to come out and say exactly what she means for fear of being rejected, after all, she was the one to WA and get a D, so that might make her a little gunshy. I was just commenting on the things she was asking him.

I don't think being afraid to risk rejection is limited to this woman or any woman for that matter. Many men are afraid of admitting they have make a mistake or asking if the door is still open.

How many men casually ask if a woman is married or make a comment about someone's spouse just to see if they are married.

I am not really sure my comment warranted this remark but I guess you are entitled to your opinion. I was just offering an observation, I never claimed to be an expert.

Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
