That is exactly what I thought Booth was doing when being hurt and it showed what a topnotch acting job DB was doing for us to be able to see that.
Yes, Brennan's 'holier than thou' (bad pun) act in these early seasons really used to annoy me because she gave no thought to the way Booth might react, even when he told her. She never apologised and even telling Wyatt that she wanted to see like Booth was, in a way, a sign that she wanted to do things without him, even though she denied it. I have always admired how it took 5 years for Booth to eventually try to move on. (Not that he should!)
