Possibly the worst day of my life.

Always,

A couple of observations here:

We're all on your side. I'd advise you to not be so apologetic or explanatory with your posts. There is no need to be sorry for posting multiple times...this is YOUR thread! Or, when you ask if you could get some feedback on a particualr situation "if possible", you sound moderately to almost heavily intimidated to even write a post, again on your own thread.

Reason I bring this up is, just ask what you want to ask and don't feel bad about it. I would only be surmising here, but this may have been a reason why your wife appears to have lost some attraction to you. I'm not saying this to beat you up, I'm saying this because I learned through my whole process not to be so apologetic with questions. It doesn't look strong. You have to own your thoughts. And, we're here to help, you're not putting anyone out. It's a thread too, not like a phone call to someone at 2:30 a.m. Seems like everyone who posts on this board does so because they love to pay it forward.

As far as your visit to her with the dogs, that does not at all sound like a good sign. Good for you for not getting mad at her visibly! But that doesn't change she was 45 minutes late, and that she "dozed off" when she was supposed to meet you. You are trying to squeeze out good signs and positives here when really, I think you were more or less duped out of 45 minutes with your dogs you had to text 3 times to get in the first place. I think what should pass for a good sign is not the cordial exchange you had with her...that's the least that adult human beings should do. What would have been a good sign was a reply from her on the first text with some enthusiasm for your ability to see the dogs, and her showing up even close to on time.

You deserve a higher standard than this, but you may not get it right now and you may have to accept that as reality. The only thing I don't want to see you do is think that cordial exchanges are good signs...for you personally deserve better treatment than what you got.
