Ok I finally addressed this directly. She was calling me daily and one night she didn't because she had to do something and she was telling me that... so I told her... I have been meaning to talk to you about this... and told her we shouldn't talk every night.

I tried to be as easy as possible and said I was running out of things to say and when that happens I put my foot in my mouth....

I am pretty sure she is going to react badly... but... she seemed ok.
