Stop trying to fix it. Listen.

"Why do you feel like you deserve to be alone?"

Then if she gets cross, you stand up for yourself. "I was interested in what you were telling me, so there's no need to be cross with me because you don't have to answer the question, and if you don't know, then you don't know".

BTW, for what it's worth... I think she wants to feel passion for you, for your marriage, and for her life with you.

I think that's what she is trying to tell you.

So... how can you help that happen?

She also talked about how the separation seemed to be working. I asked her what she meant by working and she talked about how we both seem to be growing as people. Her big growth though dealt with doing more things for herself because she feel like now i did to much. I said thats fine but what exactly is this working towards. She really wouldnt specify and i wasnt going to bring up the R or say do you mean working for us to get back together. She said she needed to work on her and that feeling like she isnt good enough wasnt good. I asked what she was doing to try to work on that and she said she doesnt know yet.

Time already hit most points.

She is looking for your guidance. She basically handed you the script.

Start leading.

"How can I help you to feel better about yourself?"

Forget the "together" part for now.

So then do I just continue to wait for the few opportunities that we have to talk about making her feel better. She isn't coming to me with any of this until I say something to her.

Do what works.

Be the strong wise attractive man she wants you to be.

Ahem... this is were a brief explanation of your situation would be helpful (and I don't see one on this thread).

Chasing her around the house and trying to get her to talk to you won't work most likely.

Again... I don't want to recommend anything if I am going to have to keep guessing about what is going on.

Time, did you read his original?

She had an A, but confessed pretty convincingly.

There has been "dark" periods.

I agree about chasing.

I agree about chasing too, but is it chasing if I say hey let's sit down and talk about this a little. Or if I say I would like to understand why you feel like you feel about this, can we have a face to face or phone call. But those things seem like persueing to me.

And Time, sorry I don't have a sec to brief you on my sitch. I'll do it after work. I did put the link to the original if u have a sec to breeze over it.
