The Bumpy Road to Recovery

[Bagheera]

Now, oh sage, how do the rest of us neophytes get our wives off the dime?

Sage-brush maybe, in its most gnarly, stinky form.

To answer your (rhetorical) question, continue my Star Wars shtick, and quote Han Solo: "That's the trick, ain't it?"

Every marriage is as different as the two people in it AND its history. I only know what worked for me, and what I've read works for others. You've got a good place to start now: gain your own self-respect back, and then see if she will come around to respecting you again also.

Safe journeys,
