Thanks for your sound advise, Puppy. You've been really there for me. I had a feeling I went a little too far in my compliments.
Since we're separated, I can only say her mood is up and down whenever we see each other--usually when we hand-off our s5. She is generally a moody person. It was difficult to make her happy because she can't be happy on her own, so she needs others to make her happy, and of course that's where I fell short.
I don't think she's happy. I believe that her work is taking her mind off the situation and this carries her through the day. She does love her job.
