I'm just giving you an example where someone's tastes not changing can be interpreted as them not evolving and becoming wiser.
This is a good point. I do believe we both have stagnated, which is why we each need some new interests and activities in our life's. DB has been consuming a huge part of my recent free time. I think it's time to cut back and move into some other activities. A drawing course is next on my list.

This made me laugh because I do avoid being naked in her view! She's only seen me I think maybe 3 times in the last 7 months, and not because I'm trying to be seen. I know she doesn't want to see that right now.
Thanks for your input Wendy, I look forward to DB with you!

My wife’s first email to me was posted on Saturday as soon as she got into her resort, to let me know she was there. I was out so did not see it. Later that day she called our home but had to leave a message because I was not there. I replied to her email that night. We then talked on the phone for a bit Sunday and it was uneventful, even a bit strained with a few quiet moments.
Since then we’ve been emailing back and forth a time or two every day, but her responses have been brief. There was no reply at all to my last email to her this morning letting her know I made it to work safely, (the rule when I ride my bike) but I know she seen it because it has been deleted from the in box. (We’re using the same account)
So of course my mind is wandering a bit, and I’m feeling a little down right now. I know I have to just leave her alone and not worry about it, and I know this is just part of the whole roller coaster ride. I also know that at least so far, my ride has been pretty mild compared to that of some others here, so I count my blessings and roll on with a smile.
I bought a new 60 inch tv and mounted on the wall to replace our old unit which has been running poorly for months. We really haven't been watching much tv, but I still want to have one. She knows nothing about this so it will be quite a surprise for her. Part of my new "take charge" program.
I had a great martial arts class last night, and start "fitness boot camp" at work tomorrow.

I got a couple more emails from my wife last night, one letting me know she was planning to have dinner with my sister K who was picking her up at the airport. Last message was this morning:
"Getting ready to come home. This place is magical. When I pass I want my ashes spread here, as I never want to leave."
We will be back together in our home tonight. It sounds like she had a great time, I'm excited to hear about it and see pictures. Roll On!

Well, she came back home from her solo vacation, so that's a good sign, right? Even brought me a gift too.
And yes rky, she was wearing her ring, both in pics at the resort and when she came home.
Plenty of good vibes as we went through her pictures and she explained the details of the resort, her room, and her daily activities. The place looked wonderful and she had a great time. We've been to many higher end resorts together over the years, and from what I've seen and heard of this place I'd rate it among the top. (Zoetry Riviera Maya, in case you just reconciled with your spouse!) It really is a shame she didn't take me along this time... oh well, hopefully some time soon!
Went out for dinner and then grocery shopping tonight, still getting along great. Yet she doesn't wear her ring when with me. Must be sending me a signal that she's still not in. Still retiring to the quest bed too. That's ok for now. I know this may take a while, but at least I'm as certain as I can be that there's still no OM. Well, besides a fantasy one anyway. Let's roll this coaster!
Oh, and the day before she left I gave her Andrea Bocelli concert tickets for her birthday. I will make it clear to her that they are hers to use as she sees fit. The show isn't until December, lets see if she asks me to join her!
