Jeff, I think the letter was great, and your wife IS responding. GIVE HER TIME. About the mattress. Are you SURE you know what kind of mattress she wants? I can see her getting upset that you didn't take her with you...what you got was too soft...too hard...pillow-top...not pillow-top, etc...You can't go wrong with one of those "sleep-number" mattresses. That way she can control the amount of softness she wants. BUT, you would have to sell your right arm to get it.
Things look promising for you. IN TIME. Promise us that when you two are reconciling, you'll take a break from all the sex you'll be having (on your new mattress) and drop in and say hi to us all.
