Funny I got a weird vibe from my W the other night during our fight/talk. I got the feeling that she is way more optimistic about us than I am. I mean I want to get to a great marriage and she seems to think it's just a matter of working through things (time and effort) for me I'm not as sure. I wonder if it's because I don't feel the traditional love from her or it's because she dropped the bomb on me.
I think the fear and other emotions you're experiencing is natural. It feels terrible when the one we've been close to is distant from us. I like your signature line about patience. Enjoy the connection your W is willing to share with you.
