Ninelives I hope your not planning on leaving the community. Your input is always good and I hope it keeps on coming. Your comment on us being a doormat has often crossed my mind. No man wants to feel this way, but your only a doormat if YOU choose to be. No woman wants to come back to a man who allows himself to be controlled. I believe that is why our reconciliation this summer didn't last. I went along with everything she said because I was afraid to rock the boat. Well here's the truth, women love to try to fix men. Its just there nature. They are built differently then us. If you don't agree with something she says, don't hide it. Don't be an a$$, but let her know you aren't afraid to show people what you believe in. Women are attracted to that. Remember guys this isn't some random woman we are after. This is our W. They married us bc they felt that, above all men, we were there perfect match. A real man made just for them. I doubt there taste in men has changed...be that MAN she chose
