Your email came off as needy, you always want to show your WAS strength....you want them to respect you and that respect doesn't come from seeming like a person who is desperate to have them back.

How to show your wife you care about what she feels and wants.....

Well, I assume the last time she told you want she felt and wanted from you was around the time she moved out....so I also assume what she wanted was to be apart and felt like she couldn't continue on in the marriage as it was?

Unless she had said something else since then that would make you think she wants something different now than she wanted then....the only way to show her what she wants/feels is to continue to DB.

As most have said, I think you shouldn't write or say anything right now.
You two seem to have really positive interaction b/n you right now....that's great.

Continue to be the best dad and be there for your W as a friend. Continue to build that friendship with no R talk....and I think you will continue to have a more positive result that way instead of right now telling her how you feel and possibly pushing her away.
