And you have a good point about those who do acts of service missing that feeling of appreciation from their spouses.
The insight you gained is valuable--that SOME of your needs indeed can be met by OTHERS...
your w is not the only person in need in this world,
but she is the one person who says she doesn't want you on her journey right now.
So go serve and reconnect with those in need. So many out there!!
If it gets draining to you, pull back some. We all need balance and some self nurturing too.
Good luck, hang in there.

PS I admit it...
I kind of can't wait til you post on YOUR fb page about a trip you take doing some service work.
Okay now, back to detachment...
