John,

I've been thinking about mood swings lately, and why both you and I seem to go through them so much.

Deep down, I've felt neglected by my wife; that I've sacrificed things for her to make her happy, but that for many years she hasn't made me feel special or important to her. And now that she's the WAS, it seems like I have to be the one to focus/concentrate on treating her well, making her happy, so on.

And that's the problem. I'm still looking for her to make me feel special and important to her; when clearly she doesn't feel that way. So I go through the week, with my frustration building up, expecting her to give me something that she can't.

Does this ring a bell?
