It might have been worded strongly as "wuss", but I don't think I was off the mark. ND (admirably I think) made the conscious choice to be the husband that she wanted...and they got along great (and FYI, I've watched this thread since it's inception). And yes, some of this is a history re-write; she got as much out of it as he did. But, in our efforts to be this loving husband, it goes over the top sometimes and I do think it can come off as the spouse trying too hard and it appearing like solely an attempt to win them back. My wife and I got along great after the bomb too. It doesn't mean she didn't still move out and divorce me. I think he did well, with the exception that his efforts were focused almost entirely on doing things together without developing outside the relationship.
