We had a talk the other day that I think may have impacted her view point.
Several years ago I had tried to discuss her lack of attenti0n to me and the missing intimacy. Her reply to each attempt to fix this problem was that with 3 young sons, she was in "Mom mode"" and the wife mode was not high on her priority list. She asked that I be patient with her and that as time went by, the kids would get older and she would have more time for me.
I find it quite ironic that she never realized that she was neglecting me all those years but found my neglect of within these past 6 months or so to be so terrible. It gave her a little different perspective.
I honestly think I have no hope of winning her back here. I'm going to try but I really feel she's just waiting for a better time financially and for the youngest to be a few years older.
I told her that she knew where I stood, how I felt and that it was all up to her at this point. I'm maintaining my changes, still working on other improvements but I am moving on with her or without her.
Thank God for friends and family.... I don't know where I would be without them.
