Yep. I think Brad Pitt has his hands full now, and I DOUBT he's the alpha-male in that relationship!
But, it seems that your wife really needs to see those little gestures of yours more. Taking care of plane tickets, making phone calls for her etc. Even if she seems independant and able to take care of things herself, we all want to know that our man will be able to step-up and take care of us when we need it.
I think she'll like the new, assertive you. Esp. if it's a 180!
Have you read the 5 love languages? Is your wifes love language "acts of service"?
