no Jack, he didn't say the word "work".

For me it sounded as if he was getting impatient and wanted some guarantee that his time spent...doing whatever it is, would be rewarded and that she'd for sure forgive him. Hence his pursuing her and repeatedly asking that even after she says there's nothing to say. She needs time. This bothers him. Why? B/C maybe she will NOT come around?

Plus, I don't get the guarantee part in this scenario b/c I think SHE'D want the guarantee, but probably thought she had one before...

We're all working to improve ourselves not b/c we are "owed" something by our spouses, in exchange for this progress, but b/c we owe it to ourselves (and kids). Also I sensed the ic was being done to search for "an answer" that would explain the A in a way that eases HIS discomfort. That makes me uncomfortable, but I can't quite articulate why.

Chris, if it's any consolation, most of us here have done inner searches and found things we are NOT proud of, within. But we work on them and it's a brave tough thing to do.
