....I also need to GAL!!!! I love all the time we have spent together it has been 98% good, but the cards are calling me!
GAL is very important for your marriage! Find time for it, always. It does not always need to be at the expense of time with your wife.
Let me explain. A little while ago, I ran a half marathon in another city. My wife and I made a weekend get-a-way out of it and she entered a 5K walk that was held concurrently with my run. After my race, cleaning up and resting, we went out on the town and had a great evening of shopping, jazz, drinking, dining together. I did my GAL, and it created the opportunity for us to have some special time together.
I am glad that things are going 98% good, that may be better than I am doing, so well done. I hope things continue to go well for you, but please make sure she sees a doctor (just in case). As a real man and not a NG, you are her husband/protector and her health is part of your "needs."
>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
