Thanks for the insight! When we were together for the last year or so, she would be walled off from time to time, but refused to let me in. I also badgered her to tell me what was up. She blew up at me a few times.

She opened up to me a bit last week. I was happy to listen. For the last 6 months, she all but refused to talk about anything. She would get so mad at me for "pushing". Finally hearing what she had to say (after 6 months of near nothing) I could hear the sorrow in her voice. You are right, lost , she is hurting. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid of pushing, but I want to heal. I want her to heal. I want her to know that I really, really want to make things right between us.

I even have a letter drafted to her...for a rainy day. The letter speaks to her heart and tells her that I never want to go back to the "old" marriage; that I want to continue on a new adventure with her. No BS! I'm busting at the seams to take her by the hand and swing her around. I want to reach her heart.

As WAW's, would there be anything your H could write to you that would melt your heart (when you are shut down)? We were confirmed together in our church. I have such a bond with her.
