See you are now into the conundrum we discussed a few weeks ago when we discussed book reading. While the 5LL is a good book, it really is a better book to be read when a relationship is good or a little stagnant....Not in the middle of practicing DB. The reason is that a WAS doesn't not want the LBS to love them or show them signs of love.
In the end all of this turns into one simple, yet always ignored fact......Marriage takes work and emotional investment 100% of the time. WE all forget that and start prodding through life making others things more important other than the foundation from which we have based our lives. In the end it takes the bomb for us to realize the error in our ways and work on ourselves to change that.
