Explain that this will help you BOTH begin to get past things quicker if everything is out on the table.
In not so many words I kind of did that already. She at first will tell me she does not remember anything more. Then I find out or she lets it slip and says she did not want me to find out and pull away/give her the cold treatment. I am hoping tonight, or even over the phone while she is on break from work (that way I have time to calm down, and thank her later). I know over the phone is not the best, but i figured it would be better then her seeing my face if I find out something dreadful.
