What did you say to her to the point she's acting like this?
Posted by confusedcancer14
I am a male Cancer. For less than 2 months I have been dating a Capricorn woman. Last week, before a week long trip, I made a comment which deeply hurt her. Due to lack of connectivity on the plane she could not respond immediately, but after she landed and got over the jet-lag she responded with a mature email which made it clear that she his very upset and has serious doubts about the future of the relationship. To not annoy her further we agreed to not talk while she was away -- not sure whether it was a good idea coming from me. I texted her two times in the meanwhile. She replied to one of my texts very briefly and cold, and ignored the last one.
In the meanwhile, I wrote a letter of apology and mailed it to her home address. She should be back from the trip soon. I am wondering what to do next: a) let her read the letter and wait for her to reach out, or, b) should I reach out to her once she is back?
As for the letter of apology: I acknowledged my mistake and took responsibility for it. I also assured her that something similar will not occur again. I didn't use any emotional wording, and was very firm, direct and honest expressing my feelings.
My hope is that the letter will touch her rational side and we will have the opportunity to talk about this situation. But, since I know that she can be easily blinded by her anger, I have little hope.
What are my options here? I wonder if she want to see me again and what does she expect at the moment? If she doesn't want to see me again, why hasn't she blocked me yet?

I jokingly said something along the lines of "stay faithful while abroad", because this was over text some context was missing -- she interpreted it as lack of trust and respect towards her. I explained myself in the aftermath, which she seemed to acknowledge. However, since then I've only sent two messages, she responded only to one of them.click to expand

My inside air voice is saying why would you give a flying fuk if she wanted to end the ship after only 2 months of dating because of a comment.
But if your really that desperate to save the ship and you really shit the bed with "THE COMMENT" then post what you said. Welcome new user, your in the right place Dxpnet women can help repair this type of stuff.

all I wanted to say with "my Capricorn woman" was: the female Capricorn I am dating. Not a native speaker, sorry for the ambiguity.click to expand

yikes. When she's back it'll be a good time to explain why you've made that comment and how it's more about you than your trust in her.

But, I see common consensus here that I should wait for her to respond first.
The comment was definitely about me and not at all about her.click to expand

I hope you keep us updated.

Yes, she wanted that from the beginning, I accepted. At times I would feed as she had second thoughts about this, but never said anything though...click to expand

random thought: now that she returns from the trip soon, should I send her some flowers with a note (in addition to the letter of apology)?
