Since you know what's she up to.....I hope you will.
If you have an idea of what time she would be by the house, why don't you find somewhere else to be? None of her business what you've been doing or where you've been, but expect her to ask.
Don't play her games.
I probably stand in the minority here, but I think it's a waste of time, and frankly it sounds kind of weak coming from a man....to explain how you look beyond her faults to love her. I know what you were saying, but she is not at the place to appreciate or respect it. As a WAW, I think I can tell you that she won't be attracted to that kind of talk and besides, it's almost like giving her permission for bad behavior. Why not tell her that you are ready for a woman who knows how a M woman is suppose to act and who knows how to love her H? That would register a lot more than that stuff you told her.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
