Hey Doc,
Couple of things I wanted to comment on...

Doc,
Go to a bookstore and read, go to a park and go for a walk, do something for yourself. It doesn't have to cost money. Just don't always keep your wife informed. I'm not saying play games, just be a little mysterious. Be in a cheerful mood when you get home. You know how the old saying goes, "Smile it makes people wonder what you are up to." I hate to say it, but I almost think your wife is going to have to think she is in danger of losing you. Maybe she needs a little bit of a chase. I know this sounds like game playing, but there is a chapter in DR that talks about being mysterious.

The being mysterious part may help in getting the WAS to come back, but you W is back. It seems to me that in your S, you and the W are living the married single life. The Retro has helped with the communication, but are the two of you doing things? I'm not talking about dates, just things. It seems as though the two of you do a lot of parallel activities. I like Yoyo's suggestions above, but maybe you could do these with W and son. I would help to build the connection.

Anyway Most of the time when I e-mail W to say good morning or just Hi in the morning.. (I leave when she is still sleeping) she does not reply. This to me is like when you walk by someone and say good morning and they don't say it back. You feel snubbed...So half sarcastically I ended the e-mail with....

Just in case you did not realize this if you ever wanted to reply or acknowledge my email's there is a "reply" button.....


So she writes back

I’m replying….good grief!!

So I wrote back

Good grief........GOOD GRIEF.Who do you think you are? Charlie Brown? Take a chill pill lady.


Good morning to you too.....sheesh...

Personal opinion, but the sarcastic line about the reply button was not at all productive. Maybe in a very healthy relationship, but not where you are currently. Email and texts can be very difficult because of the lack of context and inflection.
