That is the hardest thing in the world to be but we are here for you.
I have found that out!
I have backed off a lot. My W has been working on a project near my kids schools. In the past when I picked her up at the airport I would show up with single flower to give to her.
I use to bring her her favorite flowers at least once a month. It felt good to do those things and I look forward to the day I can do that as her H. I knew it wasn't working when I came home to find several new vases full of artificial flowers. It has been months since I gave her flowers.
She will be coming back from a trip soon and I just plan to welcome her home as good friend would. This is the first trip that I have not called her most days. I am looking forward to a chat with her tomorrow.
