Thanks Starsky. You know, maybe I regret a few times that I didn't answer emails or pick up the phone... It's my nature... Everyone who knows me says one of my biggest faults is that I'm just too "sweet" sometimes... that I will let someone walk all over me so I don't hurt their feelings... and I'm not going to lie and say that when W complained about things like me not fighting for her, not answering her communications, and just becoming cold that it doesn't sting... Bad...
And MAYBE it wasn't the right technique to bring her back to the M.
Alk, emotionally healthy relationships aren't that fragile. And true VOWS aren't that breakable. If the lack of responding to a couple of (even if you assume they are) heartfelt and sincere texts is the reason your wife would end the marriage, then how healthy was the marital dynamic that exists in her mind and her heart?
There have been some excellent articles written about the whole "princess mentality" and how UNHEALTHY it is, for BOTH the man AND the woman. Great fodder for a thread here someday, I think.
