[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not really owed an apology. I sense that's what you're looking for. But [b]she's telling you why she did it[/b] and clearly thinks it's justified. She also probably feels she can't control your emotions. They're your emotions to deal with.

If you belive she loves you and there's no malice, then I don't think emotional heart to heart are ever going to happen and you need to let the idea of them go. [/quote]

OP here, she's telling me why she did with a very vague answer and quite honestly not a valid reason, think along the lines "[b]I didn't drive 2 hours to see you after your first born was born because I was busy, now let it go[/b]".  The reason "I was busy" is just too simple, vague, short.  Does it make sense?  I would feel better if she was like "I didn't go because at the time I was dealing with XYZ, extremely busy and stressed out, and blah blah blah" - this answer would be far better than "I was busy".  Also, it would make me feel better if she could reassure her love for me by saying it out loud.  [/quote]

Did you expect her to come that day? Maybe your expectations are not realistic.[/quote]
