First off, slow down. You are acting so anxious that you will kill your chances for a R. Do you want to stay married? Then get rid of your "expectations".
"I'm not Expecting anything in return, but a thanks would be nice."
Even a "thanks" is expecting something. Stop it. If something like a little "thanks" bugs you, how do you expect to handle the larger issues. Time and patience. I think I did say a week or two before you ask. You're jumping the gun. If you push it too soon before YOU are ready, you will push her right out the door.
Someone once said that it takes one month of marriage work for every year you're married for successful piecing. By showing her you're impatient and anxious, it shows that you're insecure still. What woman would want to be around that?

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
