Thanks DDay. I appreciate your input. What made you think that I had serious hope to turn this around quickly? I felt like her mind was made up and that is what all of our family and friends are telling me too. Do YOU think I still have a chance or have completely blown it now?

I am not Norman Bates. I am actually a very nice guy, who apparently hasn't treated his wife very nicely in all respects. Although I thought I was giving her everything she wanted, I know we have emotional intimacy and serious communications issues that we need to improve.

I will go back and re-read all of the posts on this thread to try to learn something from them and what I have done wrong. Maybe it is too late, but it has only been 11 days since my first post.

Am I supposed to make this D easy on her? That is what she wants.

I promise to all that I will calm the eff down and not react to anything any more.

I don't believe my sister will tell her what I said.

Was the grocery thing confronting her? I thought that was part of putting on the BGP. Maybe I am just stupid. Should I have just given her money?

I feel like there is some conflicting advice between different posts and the book. Be nice, don't be nice. I don't know.

How do I act when I go home tonight? What if she questions me about this stuff? Say nothing? Just be calm and polite?

I am sorry to have disappointed you all............I really do need your continued support if anyone is still willing to give it.
