I wanted to add the caveat to what I said above. If there are things your W said you doing or not doing that drive her crazy, pay attention to those. Obviously, if she complained you don't cuddle, but she wants her space and isn't receptive, don't initiate cuddling. But, leaving your mail on the dining room table (one of my nagging defects) is something you want to practice to deal with.

Complaints of leaving something having to do with the kids always to her (doctors, play dates, whatever), start pitching in & stick to it. Don't go overboard to prove yourself to her (that doesn't work as she sees it as a shallow attempt to get her back and won't trust you will stick to it). Don't draw her attention to it, just quietly take care of it. She'll be watching, trust me. And, don't expect praise, thanks, or even acknowledgement. She may in fact seem angrier (she may be thinking why the h*ll you didn't do this long ago).

If in doubt, run it by us here.
