Need advice on WAW with OM

[svejk]

Any advice on this?

I need some advice on how to respond to my wife in certain situations.

Occasionally she somes by or calls and tells me she misses me and is afraid of losing me. Of course her feelings change from day to day and I know not to read too much into it. I think she also says it to see how I will respond, because she wants to make sure I'm still in the palm of her hand.

Up until now I made the mistake of always validating her feelings by saying, "I miss you too, and you're not going to lose me." I think the right way to respond now is just to listen or say, "OK, I understand." This would be a huge 180 that would probably make her wonder.

But, what if she asks me somehing like, "Don't you miss me?" or "Don't you still love me?" Of course I still love her and miss her but I don't think I should tell her that.

So how should I respond to those types of questions?
