Ava - Yes, I was kidding about the cat wash being what turned her on, I'm sure that hour-long massage is what really did it. \:\) That and my no expectations attitude, I've really been working on that.

It is true that I washed the cat though. I think he ate a frog and it really didn't agree with him. He was sick for a couple of days and yuck.... what a mess. Thankfully he's feeling all better now.

Stillhope - Ava is right. I never in would have thought that I could feel a connection like this with my wife again. It has been a struggle to get to the point I am now and it IS worth it to feel that with her again. We are far from having a completely repaired marriage. Each little reward along the way makes me see that it is possible though and keeps me going.

Once you decide to really give the gift of yourself to your wife, you will be on your way. It all starts by learning what YOU need to do to make the changes to start turning things around. She will begin to respond to the changes you are making once she sees that they are really happening. You can do this.
