Rick,

I feel for you - I really do. I don't have much to offer at this time except for - don't lose hope and keep being patient, but try no to have too many expectations right now. You are being kind to your wife and giving her space and that is what she needs.

And in the meantime, you continue going about your life and enjoying your time with your D.

BTW, you sound like a great cook. I am so jealous of your wife! My H never cooked anything except pasta (with jar sauce) and Ramen... But then again, I didn't really cook that often either. But I can say I can definitely follow a recipe and make a killer Jambalaya. I have also won two guacamole tasting contests at two different companies.
(being Hispanic, winning was more a relief for me than anything else, haha!)

OK, that was my attempt to cheer you up - I know you have been down. Hang in there!
