Disclosing her personal life to you only feeds that sense of closeness you feel you require. I would raise this point with her soon. Tell her that you are in fact troubled by the mixed messages.
I press her for the information. Is it better if she says "I won't tell you?" She wouldn't tell me her bf's last name. I searched endlessly for it because she wouldn't tell me. I don't remember how I knew she had a bf but I know I asked her. She only discloses when I ask her. My other Ts did or didn't disclose. I searched for information and drove past their houses anyway.

She never told me anything about her ex husband. I guessed that they were getting a divorce.
Thanks for this!
