Looking For Help

[Looking_For_Help]

Thank you Sandi for your reply. I was hoping to hear from you soon again.

I think you nailed it on the head...my W is experimenting with "single life"...she's going on a cruise by herself. My golfing buddy's wife did the same thing to him by experimenting with the "single life". She soon realized that the "single life" was boring and began working on their marriage.

On another note, the other day when I came back from church and dinner (yesterday), I saw my W on the couch reading a novel while the kids were playing by themselves. Today at lunchtime, she was reading this novel at the table while the kids had the TV on. All weekend this damn book. I said "not in my house...it's lunchtime and there will be no distractions from family time." I turned off the TV and had W put down her stupid book. Did I say I was ticked off?

Everyone is right...I have to detach as quickly as possible. I don't understand how I can be soooo strong one minute and be soooo weak (stupid) another minute. Can we say rollercoaster ride? I do recognize that I get more respect from my wife when I'm firm and resolute. I need to keeping following that script, but doing so in a loving manner. If I truly detach, is it possible to re-attach?

I can't wait for my vacation to start! The itinerary is full!

Thanks Sandi,
LFH
