This is very frustrating these days. W seems more interested in everything else, tv, ipohone, facebook, drawsomething, words with friend, etc... except me. When we do have those moments, It is like she is there because she feels it is her duty, very sterile. No emotion what so every. There is hardly any intimacy, or even hugs and kisses.
I feel that I am working my tail off and not appreciated at all at times.
All that I would like is for w to emotionally/romantically/intimately engage. Is that to much to ask for?
Sounds like you appear "needy" to her. We all know how it feels, longing for the strong connection you once had. She obviously has other things on her mind, and your pain to have the void filled makes it less likely she wants to do that with you. Sound like a dog chasing it's tail?
Detachment and let them decide gives it the best chance of working.
