- She felt I was criticizing her too much. I stopped entirely and understand why.
- She was missing physical contact with me. I can't do this now.
- She felt I wasn't paying attention to her. I'm told here I should limit my email/text engagement with her.
- I wasn't speaking her love language (Words of Affirmation) which doesn't seem an option now. I do encourage her about work when she talks about it.

For the rest, it was fine: no problems with my appearance, social skills, job and income, sense of humor, parenting skills, family and friends, house duties, cooking, etc. She sees me as some mean/cold/distant overachiever, I guess. I vaguely recall her using the word "robot". I'm afraid the DB way of looking happy and moving on just makes things worse, sends the signal that I was never the loving H she deserves.

I'm also curious about the opinion of more women on this board - Maybell, LisaB, Little, Vanilla, T0324, Calibri, etc. - on the email above. How would you feel about reconciling with a H who made you feel that way? What could he do to prove you that he gets it now?
