She said she has been scared and didnt want to tell me so she has been acting short with me so I wont worry.

Damn, who would have thought the Schneed would exhibit the best understanding of the female gender up in here? Not Schneed, I'll tell you that!

Sorry to hear that, man. The tendency to bottle stuff up isn't necessarily a male or female thing, either. It's just a personality thing, some people just tend to internalize this stuff. My wife does the same thing (maybe that's why my radar went up that something might be wrong). I have to coax her to talk. At first she's resistant, but I'm persistent without being pushy, and when she does eventually reluctantly talk it out she always feels better afterward.

Keep interested, read her moods, and ask her to talk about it when appropriate. It shows you care, and that's the best thing for her right now.
