BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!!
I know you hurt from the sitch you are in but when a spouse has an affair there is surely a whole new range of emotions that consume you.

Yes I think flowers would be nice. Nothing too fancy so she won't yell about spending too much money but not the bouquet from the airport shop either! With a sweet note that is real so that means you can't write missed you or glad you are home but you could write glad your trip was safe. I'd suggest a hug or light kiss if the opportunity is there but be carefull to as she might be expecting that and be ready to evade!

Oh, I know that pal. And I'm not wishing for it. At this point I think that would just seal the deal, so to speak. I don't think I'd even care to fight it.

K, so I guess I should look into where I'll grab some flowers so they will still be nice. And I'll get a little card to put a note in. Wonder if she'll catch the lack of 'I missed you"? There is no question in my mind that she'll evade anything come than a quick hug and a peck. I don't think I'll even go there. It's too rejection like. Hmmmm, in her mind, she's "won", hasn't she! Poo!

Maybe write...

Glad you had a safe trip and I managed to get a lot done with my time at home. Hope you enjoy these flowers...thought they were pretty, like you....

Then just give a light hug and let it alone...

That sounds about right, Lin. Though I might leave the 'like you' out. She really doesn't seem to like stuff like that.

Well!

12:39 pm January 1, I got a text: Happy New Year!

I need to see if kids got them to.

Thinking of no reply, though that might be to rude.

Did. Though it was tempting not to it also would not be right! I try not to be a complete *ss!

She responded pretty quickly with Tu, which I think translates to thank you, though I don't speak text very well!

I heard on the news that in Japan they were asking people not to send txts at midnight because it backlogged the system so much.
W is in a remote area so that txt certainly could have been delayed. That happens often enough that a txt or voice mail is delayed.
Maybe she was waiting for you to txt her first!
Did I make enough excuses yet?

I like what imlin wrote for a note, including 'like you'. How long's it been since you wrote something complimentary? Has she said she doesn't like it? many people just don't know how to accept a compliment, it makes them uncomfortable.
Remember! you're not expecting her to fall into your arms, you are just trying to express something to her in a nice way. Go a little further on the limb, it might hold more than you know.

Sometimes a written note can be taken differently then a spoken compliment...allows the person to contemplate the reasons without needing to make a response...as in when something is spoken...KWIM? (= Know What I Mean)

I like you guys!
cye, I did not know. I've taken care of that!
KWIM, I knew!

I'll have to think about the note. She doesn't like things that she thinks are 'sickly sweet', and the like you part I think qualifies! But it might work written. Hmmmmm.....
