I had an interesting experience today.

Last night my wife was acting strangely like she was either not all there, drunk, or trying to push my buttons by repeatedly asking me the same question over and over again and not realizing the we had discussed the matter earlier. I got upset, called he on it, set a boundary and asked her what was going on. I also said I was concerned about her as she was important to me. It was like a deer in the headlights.

Tonight, she asked me which two books she was suppose to read and actually read about 2/3rds of the SSM. She was very silent and focused on her reading. I wanted to thank her, but restrained myself as that would have been too Nice Guy-ish.

I had previously told her that this coming Saturday we were going to discuss SSM and the Five Languages of Love. I think that it might actually happen this time. We will see what happens.

I am going to focus on her actions and not words, as my wife has been very good at words. In the past I have wanted to believe her words and she may have tricked herself into believing them as well.


>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
