How to become affectionate again when W doesn't...

That's a real cool analogy. Sounds like a lot of the same things appear in my sitch. I'll sound off if I think of anything.

Tough...that is a good analogy. Right now with me my wife is holding the window shut and doesn't want it open again between us. Too bad throwing a rock through it won't fix the problem. That would be the way to go if it would work. I know it definitely won't though.

I am guilty too of quitting being her friend. I have to rebuild that and strip away those layers of paint. I have accepted my half of the blame but I don't think my W has and that has her holding the window shut.

Hopefully I work on myself enough for her to see everything and she will quit holding the window shut and we can both work on the stripping of those layers.
