I know you had questions about this (dropping the rope) your wife called it rude, the simplest way I can explain it is that you treat her exactly like a friend. Compare how you talk and treat girls who are your friends and compare that to how you talk and treat your wife. Treat your wife the same way friends are not rude, they listen and are empathetic you can be those things..but they do not talk about how much they love each and mis each other and all that .you know what I mean. You just need to draw a line.
Theroadback,
Thanks for sharing such a difficult/painful part of you life. It sounds like things are turning a bit for you. That is great news!
It makes more sense to me after reading your post. I am trying the friendly route, but now see that I cross the line of friendship when I talk about my feelings for her. I've got to get myself back across that line.
Thanks again for caring enough to share your story.
