My W has definitely not been consistent except for a few things. She calls me everyday from work. I never call her. In some ways it makes it harder because I never know where I am. I admit, I am jealous of you in one respect. Your W makes time for you to every single night. My W does not. I think if she did, I would feel a lot better. My W likes her "alone" time and always has. For ex., last night she worked out on the treadmill, took a shower and went off to bed. But this isn't really new behavior for her. She has always been somewhat of a loner.
I don't know if your W works or not, but I'm sure the fact that she works full-time and helps with the kids makes her alone time absolutely vital to her mental health. I'm okay with for the most part.
But I'd like to see her want to spend time with me. Honestly, I think this contributed to our issues. Plus she funny, smart and hot, so I want her to hang around. That's probably the No. 1 thing that bugged me about the EA. She wanted to be around this guy and made an effort to make it happen. She was happy texting/emailing/calling (not excessive though) this guy several times during the day while she could only manage a single call to me. She never emails me. Arggghhhh, I'm getting worked up again. Calm, calm, calm. :-)
But I know she is working hard at this and maybe isn't ready for that yet. But even in the best of times, she always had alone time. So different from when we first started going out. She was always trying to have excuses to spend time together. But I know that when I'm in a good mood/the funny H she loves being around me.
We've already touched on this in MC.
The other thing is that she is so dang smart, has a Ph.D in psychology no less. And I can't get her to read anything about Ms or Rs. She considers a lot of it cr*p. I'm sure she'd see DB as the same. It doesn't help that MWD only has a masters and writes for Psychology Today. So the fact that she go to MC is a huge step.
okay this is sort of rambling.
