I was watching this comedy last night “Evan Almighty” and Morgan Freeman who plays god gives this line…
Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
Really got me thinking.. Well today I worked on MIL garage and then took care of Sick wife all day. She was really out of it. Had to make run to the store for more Kleenex and medicine made son’s lunch and took him to school and picked him up, I folded the clothes, Washed the dishes and W Finley listened to me and let me set up the vaporizer for her. She was supposed to take MIL to the doctor Tuesday but I guess now I am... Well got ta go son wants to watch a movie with me… Later Doc.
I am not a real doctor but today I played one…..(not the fun game of Doctor though)
And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
CL... I had to tell ya... You know wife has been sick with the flu. She let me set up a vaporizer in the front room where she slept all day. Anyway I have always spoken of the room I sleep in as OUR room. Or OUR bathroom or OUR bed. Wife on the other hand referred to the office she sleeps in as HER ROOM... Well tonight she asked me to move the vaporizer "into her....THE OFFICE" for her............

Well here I sit in Wifes dead car.(thank god for WiFi) She wanted to pick up son from school today and when she tried to leave the battery went dead. SOOOO Doc came to the rescue and let her take his jeep home and I am here sitting in the rain waiting for a tow... Something interesting happened last night. Wife was helping son with Homework and he was giving her grief so I went in to talk to him about respect and then wife pipped in and said. "Son your most important thing in life right now are school and Family. Family is really important.......I almost asked her if she really meant that....

Maybe you should have. IMO you need to press the issue with her a little more. It almost seems like she needs something drastic to jolt her awake and recommit to you.

I think you are right... Real soon. Not yet we are almost there. The tow truck driver wanted to charge us $170 for a new battery. I just had him give me a jump and when I got home the van ran fine. W then told me that she sits in front of the school with the motor off but has the seat heater on. Today she not only had the seat heater on but forgot to shut off the lights. Now normally this should not kill the battery is such a short time but this is the original battery so it’s 7 yo and batteries usually only last 5 . Wife said we could not afford to buy a new one so she will just see how it goes. I could tell she was weary of using the van like this. ME? I don’t care if I got stuck I would get the van home somehow but W only knows where the gas goes in on cars. So while she was in the house I did go out and buy a battery and installed it myself for $80.00 ANTWAY if she did get stuck again all that would happen is she would end up calling me. Ok confession time here. On the way to my wife’s “rescue” I had a flash back from my first marriage. After my first wife left me and she shacked up with her BF she kept calling me to fix things for her and like a fool I did. THEN on day her car broke down and she called me and I told her “you left me, you don’t need me. Get your BF to fix it” I know I should not be thinking that way on this sitch but a part of me wanted to tell wife this also. But that urge passed….. Back to your statement stuck… I agree I know I need to discuss this with someone but yes..19years ago I asked her to marry me on Christmas morning…Maybe it’s time again..

It just seems as if she's been cake eating for awhile and I know how hard you've been trying. Actually you had tried to get her to make a decision before and she didn't answer. Maybe it's time to do something different.
Not saying you should go out and date other people, but is there something else you can do in a social capacity that would have her see you in a different light? Right now you're stuck in the friendzone.
