I might have been telling my H at times that I wanted out, but really I just needed the "high" of hearing that he wanted me.
Your wife seems just as immature as I was in those days.

Good grief, I'll catch it. Since my MLC, I realized how I thrived on that same kind of crap back then. So she's got a point, Frank. Although your wife is clueless that's she's doing it at this stage.
