I have to admit - this is hard to implement some times. My daughter told me that my wife was feeling sick last night. I so feel like texting her telling her that I hope she feels better, etc. This seems to violate the DB rule of no texting until things get better. Ahh....I miss my wife but I know that I have to get a grip on my emotions. I must act as if she is gone while showing her unconditional love in the mist of everything. What a paradox.
For me, one of the hardest things is wanting to show my wife love but not being able to. Her love language is gifts and quality time - two things that I really can't show her since I am giving her space. The best I can do is be the best spouse I can be and hope she is attracted to that. But if she isn't, those changes are for me alone. I am actually thinking about removing the pictures of her out of my office - not because I am finished but I think it will help me detached - thoughts? On my phone I changed her name to "daughter's mom" It actually did help me with my emotions. Although I am feeling better, I am still very much attached to my wife. While my GALs are mainly school and spending time with my daughter - I don't have much time for anything else and I still find myself thinking about my wife while I am at work or school. Any other ideas on how I can detached?
