Oooooohhhhhh........Stuck!!!! Please tell me you did not call her "mom" and she did not call you "dad". That is a horrible habit that some couples get into and it causes the romantic department to suffer, IMHO. She is not your mother and you sure don't need to see her in that light. I know you may not be saying this at all. But even thinking of each other as "parents", and as you said....in domestic things all the time is not healthy b/c it ruins something special.....like the sexual appetite.....I would think.
Sandi,
You are soooo right. This is one of the things that my wife had said before she moved out. She felt like I thought of her just as the mother of our childer, and didn't treat her as a wife.
I didn't understand fully what that meant until recently.
Stuck - don't make the same DAM mistake that I had. You still have a great chance with her in the house. My coach had said "do whatever it takes to keep her in the house."
