Update: I want to Salavage my Marriage

[SuperDad]

Chris,
Sounds like several good baby steps. Just remember to keep your expectations low and even expect her to backtrack after these steps toward you.

Have you considered [url=http://www.retrouvaille.org/ ]retrouvaille[/url]? Sara is a huge proponent of this and says that it absolutely saved her marriage when it was all but over.

I am not sure if all this emotional supression is good for me. I sometimes wonder about the long-term consequences of supressing my thoughts, feelings, and words around her.

The key is the around her. You can get your feelings out in so many other ways...HERE!, journal, prayer, mediation, in IC, with a trusted (male) friend who is not in your W's circle. I have done all of these and it really helps.
