Sinking into a dark place

[SM34]

I think mimi has hit the nail on the head! You need to examine the respect factor because...

Women cannot feel attraction for a man they do not respect.

Speaking from expeience, and in my sitch, a woman's respect for her husband is usually based around your ability to PROVIDE.

it may not be that a wife needs a lot of money, but financial SECURITY and maturity on the husbands part.

I'm not sure if you have any financial issues or if your wife may feel you are not financially responsible or anything along those lines.

But believe it or not, setting up a trust fund for the kids, or a retirement fund for you and her, or simply examing your bills and finding places to lower expenses (without touching her FUN budget) can be EXTREMELY attractive and dmands respect. Its the way women are programed, they look at a secure future as something a strong alpha male provides.

Do you have any financial issues?
