Tristan,

I think that's perfectly fine, if that -- your last nite together -- was the only time you tried this tack. The problem I think Robx (or me, or Gucci, or others) have with this supplicating style is that, over the long haul, IT DOESN'T WORK in re-attracting a wayward spouse.

It's good for generating short-term sympathy, and for soothing yourself, but it's not going to re-ignite the marital flames of passion and respect.

Agreed. I am just trying to find a balance. I need to understand and support her in trying times while at the same time demonstrate that I am a man with value and deserves respect. It seems that these 2 things are in conflict and it is hard to work on both simultaneously. Is it possible?
