Are regrets when you end a separation normal?

OTM-

i know it's been a big issue for me in the past with my H concerning going out socially with him that i feel ignored because he's so busy working the room. while i appreciate his charm and charisma and i know that he's constantly in "networking" mode, i also sometimes feel like a 3rd wheel if we're out with his buddies, or like i may as well not be there if he's scoping out potential clients if we are at a party or something. as the ignored partner, i can tell you, it's not fun to feel that way. and my H never considers it because, well, in his brain, working the room is what comes naturally to him. i'm a lot more introverted than he is (and it seems like your wife may be the same way), so while he can go to a bar and be BFFs with ten new people in 15 minutes, i'm uncomfortable in social situations where i don't know anyone else and my H is busy talking to other people. just try to put yourself in her shoes. maybe she likes to stay home because she feels like there she has a better chance at getting your attention?

when we do go out, just the two of us, i LOVE it when he leaves his phone at home or even in the car, so i feel like i have his full attention.
