W still wants separation, need to DB more

[OfficerInNeed]

I made the assumption based on our past. We were always a very intimate couple so the "Physical touch" was always there. We did EVERYTHING together and I mean EVERYTHING (as mentioned in previous post) so "Quality Time" not an issue. My W told me that my "Acts of service" made no difference to her, but that was back when she was more bitter toward me. My W appreciated but told me she did not like "receiving gifts" that she was "not that type of girl" which I always knew.

For me, when I sat down and thought about it, I am a "Words of Affirmation" person. I like hearing how much she loved me and cared for me. This is also a department I lacked in...Even when I would give such words of affirmation I would say something contradicting in the next sentence.

Things have been going OK today so far. My W did lie to me but it was such a little thing I chose not to even bring it up, it really had no significance so why bother. She said I was acting weird today and she has checked my phone more than once today. She also encouraged me to call her father and invite him to a show on Sat. which her father could not make unfortunately.

I had the opportunity to compliment her as well. She has been wanting to get her teeth whitened for years now but I always told her it would be a waste of money because she already had a great smile. Today she went for a consultation. They told her she had white teeth as it is. When she told me what the Dr. had said I then said in response "She is right, you have beautiful smile."

We'll see how the rest of today goes. It is tough not t apologize to her but I will do my best to tone it down. I use to have such a short fuse toward is all...
