Thanks Red! I am really trying. I have not posted much the past few days. There really has not been anything going on. Had an issue with the bank account today, too, that I had to email him about. Hoping to hear something about it, since it was a $60 debit I knew nothing about. I also sent him another email, a just because one, as part of my love dare. The 9 hour time difference makes things awkward but not impossible.
I have sent him some cards and a couple of packages. There was a letter in the one package, concerning his Bible being in there. He has not said if he got them yet. I am patient and waiting. To me, he is all that and a bag of chips.

Just finished reading your current thread. First off, glad that your on the piecing board and not somewhere else - like me.
I wouldn't want to minimize your struggles right now, but I'd love to be in this phase of my sitch. But to your point, I see a lot of myself in this thread. My insecurities have gotten the best of me, at times - ever since the bomb and before. I, too, tried rushing things - like the last trip we went on - a year ago - when I went over-the-top romantic on her and she made some of the same comments your wife has made.
I guess whether you're in my sitch or yours, patience is an asset. I also long for ML, or any affection, but, it's all about my wife right now. It's true that I'm hurting and insecure right now, but she's healing (I hope) and needs time and space. My IC told me one time, my process with her was like feeding a squirell - if you moved too fast, you'd scare them away. Sounds corny - but true.
