Hi Echoes!
Okay, loved this post because I've been going just a little longer. First off, I kind of like that she used the word totrture and connected it to you. To me, it feels like evidence of a deep connection between the two of you. Second, I think she IS torturing you! LOL I think she's deliberately provoking you to see how you react. Of course I could be way off base but my T has been known to be a nudge at times trying to push me to see what he can get out of me.
I guess we will create the end when we don't want to go anymore or aren't getting anything out of it. Maybe T sees this in your complaints about still not being able to be forthcoming and opening up so she's trying a new tactic? I
At any rate, your relationship seems so comfortable now, and relaxed...genuine. It's a nice place to be.
