Pretty much every guy I've read that asks that question is still in the trying to convince, guilt or reason their wife back into the relationship phase. None of those will work. Until you are DB'ing and getting strong for YOU, you are missing the point.

It could and probably would seriously backfire on you. I would not show her.

...fix, rescue, help her see, understand, think, lift the fog, advise, get her hormones checked, get her to talk to her priest/pastor, talk to my/her Mom/BF or go to IC....

It's all script.

Yep - I have been there too. At one time I would have thought it was a good idea for her to read some of the stuff on this forum and in the books I have read. I spent many months trying to get her to 'wake up' and 'see the light' but it just doesn't work. They don't want to believe you or anyone else who is saying something that doesn't support their intended path.
The stuff she knew about (the books) just pissed her off and she would get real sarcastic: "Why don't you just go read one of your BOOKS and figure it out..." The last thing she needs is more ammunition to be irritated at the LBS.
Looking back I now know I should have gone completely stealth with all of the help I was getting, whether it was from books, this forum, etc.
