my wife /my room mate

[WAW in the OC]

Oh well according to the book I am reading I do not “need” her to say anything. It is a preference. I would prefer her to acknowledge our anniversary but I DO NOT NEEDS IT...

Husband,

Sounds like you had a great time w/ son. I'm glad you got something out of the book. It really helped me understand the big picture. I still break down every so often but then I pick myself up and realise there's always tomorrow. I've started going out w/ women to lunch and it's really nice to be able to talk to them and see how nice they can be. Not to mention they are very pretty and smile a lot(smiling is something my wife has resolved not to do in my presence).

I am rooting for you and your W to get back together. Whatever happens, you sound like you'd have no problem finding another woman that would really appreciate you and give you the respect you deserve. Perhaps a red head? All of us LBS's deserve to be treated better than we have been. We just prefer to stay w/ our spouse if they permit it.

I think you'll find some other really good tips in that book. Especially the "agree w/ everything" technique. It's been helpful for me because the W wants the opposite of everything I want.It really throws a wrench in the works when what I want agrees w/ what she wants! Good luck!
