You're definitely right on the Acts of Service end. That is me through and through. Yes I get mad but I've found it to usually hurt me more than anything. Blowing up just leaves me fuming and she just goes on like nothing. Trust me it is not easy and maybe you are right...maybe I am catering too much. But the months of April, May and June were absolutely brutal. There was not much friendliness at all. July was a tad better but only because she was overseas and I was relegated to just text communication.

My W and I were best friends before we got married and so in a sense, I do miss that and have taken a "take what I can get" approach at times so I think there is something to your observation Jack.

I know I'm depressed. I exhibit all the symptoms of it and I'm just trying to find a way to pull myself out of this rut.
