totally agree Steve, tristan it seems that every action & every thought process seems to be in reaction to what your wife is doing - seriously aren't you exhausted by that yet? Take a break from having to do things in reaction to whatever she is doing.
You are allowed a life at this point, enjoy it, if she always knows you're waiting around for her, she will feel secure (and lazy) to take her time when it comes to you, why are you giving her that gift? I can't see how she's earned it.
Yes she has come around, you've had a few dates, you've been physically intimate but you do notice she holds herself back every now & then. She is testing you, and you need to view most of whatever she is doing right now as a test.
Is this the same old tristan she is used to and if so, this is nice now but I'm going to get bored again real soon.
You aren't the same old tristan, you're version 2.0 - better, smarter, stronger
She just went away on a weekend trip without you and the kids, when is the last time you went away by yourself to visit a friend or family for the weekend?
You're allowed you know ;-)
As for the posts above regarding that email, she went away, let her come back and say hi to you, let her be curious about you & the kids.
