Thanks for stopping by Denver. I'm glad to hear things are better with you as well.
I agree with everything you posted.
One thing that you and I talked about awhile back, is that we both made a significant amount of changes (going to school on our M/R), while our wives were finding their ways on their own.
I sometimes find myself thinking in the midst of a convo with my W, "if you would only do this or do that, it would completely change things for the better". It is a challenge not to offer too much advice to fix her problems. I have to tell myself, "she just wants me to listen, zip it."
It is tough for me, but I try to be aware of these things. You may have some of the same challenges in your sitch.
