[QUOTE="klmno, post: 382614, member: 3699"] It sounds like are teasing some problems out of her. My first thought here is that all her eating issues aren't just intentional manipulative behavior- she might really have some phobia and the manipualtion (for lack of better term) can sometimes be knowing that if she cries and you give in about the food, it keeps her from having to deal with that fear- I call that unintentional manipulation because it becomes habit. On the one hand, her throwing a tantrum over this stuff could be another form of that, but it really might be an indication of her having some difficulties adjusting to the marriage and not being the center of your attention or feeling threatened by losing you- who knows. The main thing is, they do appear to be getting somewhere - I'm just not sure they know as much as they claimed to yet. If they work thru these issues with her in therapy this week, that would obviously be a good thing. [/QUOTE]
