"I'm continuing with the coach to 5K program. For a big fat beast like me, it's hard."
Good for you.
"So far the wife hasn't said anything about it either she hasn't noticed or doesn't care. frown"
Why does she need to notice? Are you doing it for the kids or for your W? Stop doing things just for the sake of trying to get your W back. In the end you kids will remember their dad reading them stories. Period.
In fact, she's probably expecting you to drop this new reading habit with the kids because she sees it as fake.
"I got a hold of the 5 love languages book. I made it through, but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out my wife's language."
Didn't I say what it was in a previous post? I guess you weren't listening.
"I think mine is easy to identify. Should I ask her to take the quiz or read the book?"
NO!
"It will help and it would be 10X easier than trying to guess at her language."
Re-read what I posted to you. THAT is her LL. And don't debate with me that it isn't. You're obviously not seeing the big picture right now.
"The book also says that I should ask my wife to do things to help fill my love tank,"
That's only if you're in a GOOD MARRIAGE and she wants to do things for you. You're obviously not at that point so don't even think of her having to fill your tank.
"Speaking of which I've stopped mentioning sex around my wife, but it is sooooooo tough. I was not meant to be a monk, if you get my drift."
Yes we do get your 'drift'. So did your W. That's why you're in the mess you're in right now.
Just keep up the positive changes and give her space.
