I think for you to start your four weeks on a text like that is a great parting gift/note. Right now you don't have an R problem, you have a wife-trapped-in-her-own-head problem.

I remember when I finally pulled back for real as you have stated is your intention, my W got real angry about it, almost snippy - but it was her realizing she was losing me. When she found out through a mutual friend that some pretty girl that made $80k/year was asking about me, that was the final straw.

I'm sure you'll chuckle to think of me advocating patience with my track record, but it IS your name! Now, let W soak for these four weeks...
