Thanks for all the replies everyone, I really do appreciate it. Some things happened today... I made another post a few weeks ago about getting tested for STDs. We finally did that today and I thought everything was ok, I was so relieved that after months and months of putting it off she finally said OK.
Later tonight she had a big argument with me about me not being affectionate enough, even though I've really been trying. We decided that I would try and be more open about my feelings and express things a bit more (after considering more how distant and detached I probably appear a lot of the time), and she would perhaps tone it down a little bit since she knows I like my space and I'm a pretty independent person.
Anyway, she's had a tough past few days and today she snapped and went nuts because I was holding her hand, but she thought I was forcing myself to do it against my will and I was only being affectionate just to please her.
It's all a very mixed up situation, I know now that although she can be a bit over bearing with her clinginess, I'm probably just as at fault for being too distant and detached when it comes to this sort of thing.
I'm not sure where we stand right now, when she went to work & then home today we left on a pretty sour note...
Funny how we finally got the STD test and then the very same day everything turns to s--t!
