I will work on the validating; it is definitely something I can improve.

Here is what I heard from her text knowing my w

"I laugh in your general direction! Don't you remember who I am?!? You know I can't relax when I'm at home! Now take me on an f$&@ing vacation!"

My w is someone who doesn't know how to stop working and relax. If she stops doing her paid work, she will transition right in to house work. I would work right along with her when she was around. I had a hard time keeping up. The only time she could relax was when we would get away for a few days and we did this often.

If we were together, the right thing for me to do would be for me to take her away for a few days. Given that we are still separated, I am not sure what to do.

Over the past weeks she has talked about missing things that we shared in our life together. She has reached out to me for emotional support. And now recently she has talked about using me for my body... Maybe it is just part of a MLC dance and she will pull away again...
