I feel like you are describing a carbon copy of what has been going on at my home. The similarities are striking. We even have two young daughters like you. And I, too have been struggling with GAL and spending time with them, in addition to figuring out how to "detach".
My wife has told me she no longer feels the same about me. ILYBNILWY. Said she feels trapped. If she could support herself, she would go for a separation. We have been in separate bedrooms since early November. At one point, she told me she missed sex and thought we should make some kind of arrangement for it. We made love 2x after that and then she said no more because it was weird.
She gets irritated with me when I am around the house. Says that she likes when I am gone on business trips. However, when I left on my last trip and I just said "goodbye' from the door, I received a text the next day telling me "you could have kissed me goodbye, I wouldn't bite". Last week, she asked me to lunch. If I ask her out, she just ignores the invitation. Very confusing behavior.
I too am going to add you to my watch list. I just made my first post about my situation. It's titled "New Club Member Here". And thanks, Another Stander, for your input. You seem to really know whats going on.
