I want to encourage you just to file the letter away for another day.

Oh I absolutely agree. I just edited in case he was tempted to send it (It had way too much open emotion and information) and more to show what I think Choc could edit out of his words to her and actions in their daily life. He has a tendency for overexplaining to her (I have the same problem so it's easy to recognize:)) I wanted to point out that he can tell her he's backing off without writing a paragraph explaining why it will be helpful to her and the marriage for him to back off. What do you think?

Also do you think he should verbally tell her that he does admire her and understands that her career is not easy and is important? Her letter stated that she thinks he either doesn't respect her career choice or maybe demeans it? Should that be cleared up in a direct manner?
