I understand...

What are your actions showing her?

What is it that she "sees" when she looks at you ?

You don't know that.....

What would YOU see, from what you have posted ?

Nothing that would look like a step toward each other.


I'm not advocating her walking all over you here.

Do not leave your house and children. She wants this,let her work toward that.

What you are doing is not working, in fact it is putting the proverbial burr under her saddle with the amount of contact you are initiating.

You made your choice of what you wanted, now...

How do you get there?

What steps can you take for you ?
