Thanks for your feedback AS. The boys don't live with the W. When I move back, myself and the boys will be almost 1000km away from the W. I will tell them I am coming back to be with them. Nothing about the W will be mentioned. Yes, I am hoping to see them more. Also hoping that they will in turn come and see me, rather than me doing all the chasing/ringing etc. But being young adult boys, I have to accept it may be the case that I am doing all the work. AS, as F mentioned, I haven't communicated, nor has she, with each other for a long time now. The boys are talked to every week and usually text/facebook every few days. I believe the W does the same.

Very much enjoying the N.U.T.S. book. Very easy to read and understand. Simple things to change ourselves.

N.U.T.S book? What's that one? yet another one to add to my ever growing list of books lol. I need to have books that will work on me instead of my relationship, so this sounds perfect for me

No TTD180, this book is completely focused on us men. But yes, it is a working on me book, rather than a relationship one.

I dread to think! I'm not sure what words they'll let me put on here so I'd better not

Gotcha. In that case I agree with you and F, don't say anything to her about it. She's removed herself from the picture at this point unfortunately.

I suspect that if you do the work initially, then eventually they will reciprocate. The 5 Love Languages techniques don't just work on spouses, it's the same kind of deal with kids. You fill their love tanks and they'll WANT to fill yours.
