She is, and she knows I'm a good deal for her, even if she's not "In Love". This is why I feel a gentle acknowledgement of the reality of my desires and expectations are not likely to cause her to bolt, or make any big decisions "that don't include me". I'm only aiming to plant some seeds, not press for any immediate commitment or resolution.
The longer I hold my feelings in, the greater the chance of me blowing it badly at some point when I can't take it any longer. Better, I think, to choose a good opportunity (like when we're connecting) and make my feelings known in a constructive manner.
I think you have that exactly right, FY.
You really are a very special man. I hope and pray that she wakes up soon to realize it.
Thank you so much for this comment, and your continued support and guidance. It truly means a lot to me.
You are very welcome. I am honored if I help in some small way.
No wonder she could care less about any car.
Well, there you have it.
But I need to be more than just friends with my wife.
Yes, you do. You deserve a full, rewarding marriage, FY.
