Hi Kittyfish,

You're right about the wedding ring being symbolic to her. It's weird that she's doing that as before she always made sure I had mine on to show I'm married. But then again, this isn't the same woman I married right? ; ) I wish she would give up her job, but it's something she's not willing to do. The guy's supposed to retire in a year or two.

I did ask her what I could do to make her happier and I still get the "nothing" answer. Or I don't want you to fulfill my needs or do anything, I just want out. Kind of like a caged animal. Then I tell her if she's that unhappy, she can leave, but she doesn't. She'll just say "just drop it" and that's that.

That's why it's frustrating because to this day I still don't know of any one reason.

I've been trying the words of affirmation for awhile. Do you have any suggestions as to what you would have wanted to be told? I need ideas in that department so that I don't end up repeating myself. You said you wanted to be treated like a princess. What kind of things did you want to hear? Things that speak to you as a woman.
