Well, it is good that you apologized. I would say that actions also speak volumes to women. (As you can see from my sitch - I'm waiting for action from my H).
Olbiviously, the blame & accusations still say that your W is hurting & hasn't gotten past that yet.
I've started reading Michele's other book - Getting Through to the Man you Love. So far it has reinforced that men & women don't think the same. Something that I keep forgetting. It's easy to assume the other sex thinks as you do - so not true.
And yes, women love to be romanced. I think back to the last time my H asked to make love. I was watching the tv & turned him down. Did he try anything to get me in the mood ... no he just asked. Now if things would have been 'good' between us, I probably would have jumped at the chance. But things were less than perfect (even though, I didn't really realize it), so I needed the extra effort from him to get me in the mood. To this day, I feel bad about dejecting him, another nail in the M coffin. Oh, well, live & learn - right?
Have you ever asked her to go to MC?
