you're right, it shouldnt hurt her feelings.. but I'm just so afraid it will. I guess what I'm really afraid of is that it will and she'll react negatively towards me. She has responded to me a few times lately in ways that have felt a little short and uncharacteristic of her.. I'm probably just imagining it, but who knows. Growing up, I was always okay with silence and lack of feelings.. assumed my parents loved me, etc.. until one day that was proven wrong in a big way. So I'm terribly afraid of what my T might be thinking, since I never know.. I'd never seen a "blow up" coming. 99% chance it'll never happen, I know.. but it's still scary.
I think I may talk to her on Monday about using different language and see if that helps. Something a little less magic-sounding would probably work. Thanks for the suggestion.
