Never mind that the above post is from a fictional romance novel, and that the central character (Matt, ) is a cheater... the above list still sounds like words to live by to me.

Communicate, bud!
Thanks for pressing me to go back and ask about this, Wonka. Because I did, I found a wonderful opening for my new thread, which came from a book my wife read.
Even though my wife doesn't desire me "in that way" at the moment, I am fortunate because we get along well, and can both say or ask practically anything we want without any negative repercussions. Plus, I now know I am a glass ball that, if dropped, "will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered."
My wife is now seriously planning quitting her job, which has over stressed her for many years. This may be just what she needs to help her find the meaning in life she is searching for.
In one of our recent discussions about her job, she even used the exact words "meaning" and "purpose"... things I've learned long ago are what persons in crisis are really searching for! Often, they may not understand this, especially at first, and often they waste time searching in all the wrong places. But some really do figure it out, and sometimes even decide their marriage and spouse wasn't the problem after all.
My gut continues to tell me things are improving between my wife and I, so I will continue to stand and give her my best.
