Wife wants best of both worlds

[MHL]

I fight the same demon on the pursuing thing. Personally once in a while it is okay but it needs to be her idea next time. I am glad you will get to spend time with your family tomorrow night. Remember to be superdad and be attentive to her. Ask her about herself, anything at all, work, new house, movies etc. and shut and listen to her. Focus on her, look her in the eyes, smile, compliment her on her looks do all the things you would do if you were on a date with a new girl, pull out her chair, open the car door if you ride together. Try butterfly touches on her back as you open the door to the restaurant, help her with her coat, you get the picture. We husbands forget all this stuff after the wedding but the ladies eat that stuff up.
If she has been with OM for 5.5 months I guarantee he has already stopped that stuff.
