but who initiated sex saturday night? Think to the earliest moment when you KNEW there would be sex... or even suspected it...
What made that happen, for you? ie. She said, "your cologne smells good" and you realized there'd be sumfin sumfin tonight...
In your previous post you mentioned that you were in to save the M. That's fine. That's a decision you have made.
Before you can save the M... the two of you need to save yourselves...
She needs the space?
Maybe... stop having sex with her... we all need release, but once she's had the sex... she's irritable... think... maybe that's because she is mad at herself for being intimate with you...? That she somehow sees it as you manipulating her to having sex? That... you are smothering her...
Yeah... take a few days off... he1l... visit with your g-ma for the week... and then take a little vacay for yourself this weekend... maybe even take the kids somewhere... so your W can have space...
Might that work for you?
That certainly would give her some space that she is asking for.
And when you ARE with her... just be there... go about your daily "stuff"... that involves your W as little as possible...
Just some thoughts... Your choice how to give her more space...
