Maximus - thanks for stopping by my thread.

I don't really know what to say about your sitch right now. But I AM curious if you've read or are familiar with the 5 love languages. You say you have good days but then no "tender moments". So I'm interested to what you consider to be a "good day". From your description of her behavior, it sounds like you value quality time. But maybe she doesn't...? What do you think?

I am also curious about your second "argument". I'd be worried about trying to put too much control on her. Why would you tell her she has to cook and clean? Do you want a maid or a wife? From the way you describe it, it sounds like you said "I'm going to cut off your income, control all the finances, and all you have to do is cook for me and keep the house clean!" What a deal.........

While you think on that stuff, what kind of goals do you have? What types of 180s are you working on?
