CL, You seem to still be walking on eggshells around you wife and she senses it. You can't decide on what to do because it appears you don't want to upset her and yet she gets upset anyway.

Start leading let her know what the plan is. "I am going to pickup Chinese on the way home for dinner. What would you like? Then I am heading to the grocery, is there anything you need? I can imagine you don't feel well after your dentist visit today. How can I help you?" Now if she needs or wants something it's up to her to bring it up. You were thoughtful of her and a man with a plan.

This turned out to be a poor choice, as she described it as thoughtless, since she couldn't dance.


Do you see how disrespectful that little dig is? Women can't love a man they don't respect. You have been thinking about her all day and then she calls you thoughtless. It also shows she wants to know what you are thinking - intomesee.

"I understand how you could see it that way. I actually was thinking about you, that is why I didn't go dancing without you. I decided to spend my time with you."

and try to adapt to her situatiion.


That's not what she wants. She wants a man that is confident not placating her.
