puppy is the expert here, but i'll put my two cents worth in anyway. you're doing a good job of finding things that "the two of you" USED to enjoy. keep it up. you're doing a good job. don't cave in and bow to her every need, but i'm sure you like doing this stuff as well. become friends again. that's where most of us have went wrong. at least she seems receptive. enjoy it and enjoy your time together.
you find your friendship again you/she will find your love again. women are more about emotions than the physical/sex thing. she wants you to be there for her. be there for her. just don't suffocate her.
me and my WAW started our relationship out inseparable. i was coming out of a marriage with a daughter that i had every other weekend and when we didn't have her we were always together. then our boys and increased bills and whatever else happened and we grew apart. i turned to my "friends" at work and then she went back to work and she turned to her "friends" at work. we both allowed ourselves to drift apart.
don't make that mistake. if you're like most couples you were friends before lovers. yeah, kids make it tough, realities of life make it tough, but don't ever forget who your best friend is. in a marriage, passion comes and goes, but that friendship always has to be there.
don't force yourself down her throat, but make life fun for her and make her enjoy your time together. make the date nights that most of us let tend to let slowly fade away. get away and enjoy each other away from the hustle and bustle of every day rigors. the joy that you get from that friendship will bring the love and passion back. just take it slow.
i'm fairly new here, so i hope i don't overstep my bounds and give advice that is "not by the book", but i know that things will get better for you if you don't make the same mistakes a lot of us have made.
my WAW leaving for another man is by no means right. but i could've done a lot of things different and she wouldn't have even made that an option.
my advice is, keep it up. other may disagree, but we'll see.
