OfficerInNeed,

Many time our WAS forget that we complement them. I say complement her as much as you would like, without being too much.

When WAS gets really bad they will discourage you from complementing them, but encourage it from the outside. They will tell the outside you don't complement them. Been there done that.

I think you two are doing better, so you can complement her very occasionally with gifts. Allan A might disagree, but its up to you.

Complement her with your words, and your actions. I also believe you should get some back.

If she's not really paying you attention, I'd spend some time with my single and other friends that go out. You want to get some of that "attractive" attention from somewhere. The wife will know and many of these betrayeds will respond to this. Its crazy like that.

All in all, my wife treated me much better when I was a "bad boy", not necessarily cheating, but getting out, getting good attention, dressing well. I lost it when I cut all this out, and was all about her. So there is a fine balance as I'm sure you are aware.

The key is going to be you have to look like you can "cheat", without doing it. OIN needs to appear as he has tons of options, and be in the environments in which he can manifest them - without using them.

I'm a pretty good guy, but looking back, some "bad boy" in there was better for me, than being "totally good".

Just throwing some extra info out there, and your info and your turnaround is motivating for myself and others.
