OK SM, haven't read your entire story, just this section. If I understand this correctly, you've decided to start practicing "Girl-Fu". i.e. Playing the jealousy card.
From all the reading I've been doing here, look up Gucci Loafer's posts to see how it's done correctly.
Basically from my understanding it's done by becoming mysterious and copying her actions. e.g. dressing up nice to go out, acting secretive when a phone call comes in. This is done semi-discreetly enough to raise suspicions and get her attention back.
I'd like to warn you that you DO run the risk of losing her completely if she decides to take revenge. So tread carefully. GL has other good advice too.
Take care. G
what i get from gucci's posts, is alot of his advice is very similiar to the advice your wife is receiving from her enabling friends at the bar. Just the medium is different and no one is buying gucci loafer any drinks.
but, i dont think he would touch this thread with a ten foot pole as the information is too discombobulated.
still, I am wondering if its time to put nose to the grindstone or the pedal to the floor.
