Good to hear from you! On behalf of the State of Oklahoma, you're very welcome (although I personally had nothing to do with getting your power turned back on).
Thanks for the advice - I think that your ideas have some merit and I'm curious what others here think. I actually have slowed down a bit with regard to doing things for my wife, although I've continued to keep up with my responsibilities. But I may try slacking off even more so that maybe she'll start wanting the "more helpful Sooner" back and as a result put forth some effort. Also, I've never really shown so little interest in her that she could begin to doubt that I'm attracted to her - not for very long anyway. That might be worth a try - certainly couldn't hurt since nothing is happening anyway.
Quote: Are there times when you're not attracted to her? How do you feel about her when she's yelling or throwing things?
When she's yelling and throwing things I'm certainly not attracted to her, but otherwise I basically always find her attractive.
Quote: Does your wife ever see you looking at another woman?
Yeah, she's definitely caught me staring on occasions. But I try to keep it from being obvious. Maybe I'll quit trying so hard to hide my wandering eye. Maybe doing that in conjunction with not acting even the slightest bit interested in her will get her a bit worried.
Your observation about my wife's pride getting in the way is probably quite accurate. I know that she doesn't like to be wrong about anything - as an example, I very seldom get an apology out of her for anything, even when she knows that she was obviously to blame. If she were to start working on fixing our problems, she very well may feel that she'd be admitting she was wrong. Does anyone have any ideas how I could "play to her pride" or help her to feel good about working on our problems?
Great insight as always MPT. Hope you're doing well.
