Yep. I must admit, I had a very Hollywood view of marriage. I'm glad I came across these resources. I could see myself as the bitter old man at age 70... or worse, wind up as a single-Dad version of my own Dad frown

I don't intend to mindread but my wife appears to not have the same positive attitude I have at the moment or if she does, apparently not to the same extent. I guess the 'turnaround' in the WAS has to occur when both parties are happy. I look forward to the interactions I have with future-happy-wife (not speculating we'll reconcile but the interactions will be interesting whatever direction she takes).
