She again stated that she wasn't looking to have an A - it just happened. I said nothing about that.

But I did say that I want D27 & fiancé to have not only a great wedding but a great marriage. I said that I teach my children by example. And that example being that if you get into a rough patch in your marriage, you roll up your sleeves and do the work required to rebuild and strengthen your marriage.

W just listened and didn't comment.

I'm thinking that she's been acting jealous lately if I talk to other women. This could mean that she does want me in her life.

The mutual caretaking of our cat seems to be bringing us closer together. Still she makes comments about our different household cleanliness standards. I didn't argue. I've been rather busy lately and don't need to get nagged about not cleaning the bathroom floor often enough. I'm the one earning all the money right now, running both our businesses. But I'm not about to play that card. Let her nag - I've got a spew jacket that keeps me safe.


Don't worry about if that means "she wants" you in her life. She figures she has you to perform whatever tasks she needs. She doesn't need you for the full man and intimacy portion, yet when another woman comes sniffing around her property she becomes territorial.

I don't know if you've seen the movie roots, but in her minds you are like "Kunta Kinte", the slave. Just kinda joking but kind of not.

As you see you talking to and being "nice" to other women causes feedback from her, wifey may even end up being nicer to you as a result.
