had a great vacation with the family to Disney world and the Gulf Coast. A couple times during the trip my W had some brief contact i.e. pats on the back. But nothing substantive. The trip turned out to be a little more stressful than it should have been due to some unexpected financial issues. But we worked together on that.
She was more than willing to sleep in the same bed on the trip, but it didn't workout because the kids didn't seem to want that to happen. But then when we get home it's back to our separate rooms. Grrr.
Franky, I am tired of this. it not so much the ML...its the other physical components of a relationship. These are important to me. I'm tired of this feeling like a friendship/roommate situation.
But I really can't fathom how she does not miss these things or at least how she keeps it it so well.
I did find out something interesting. My wife was reading a relationship book a month or so back. Now she is a psychologist with a Ph.D. So this was very out of character for her.
I'm try to focus on the positives and the now, but this really can't go on.

I recommend you as a Bootcamp vet. You're tough. But you are very REAL. Why not check out some of the threads on newcomers and offer your wisdom where it fits.
I think you will find a win/win if you pick the one that feels right.
I started being successful myself when I started really giving advice.

Good (and bad) to see you're still around. I haven't looked at the piecing forum in a long time.
Sounds like you are in an ok place with your W. That text message she sent you back in May was pretty incredible. I would give anything for my W to say something 1/10 as nice as that to me.
It sounds like when you have a "talk" with your W, they go about the same way mine do.
Just keep doing your best not to push her and to be her friend...she is showing appreciation for you doing that...and that is a huge positive.
