I'm in NW Indiana, 40minutes from my house to the loop (on a good traffic day, lol) the construction on LSD right at McCormick place is killing me lately!
Go into the city more often (that is if you enjoy it, I absolutely love it... will be moving downtown as soon as my kids are out of the house!)
Do you agree with your wife that you were lacking in those areas? My suggestions, show your children how much you love them. Hug them, plan activities (free stuff), send them a package with a I love you card and maybe some of their favorite candy. My kids ADORE getting mail (even the oldest). Scavenger hunt that starts with a card in the mail and ends with an I love you cake... Women are attracted to good fathers.
Oh and by the way, it's easy to spew "you didn't SHOW me enough love". Only take responsibility for the truth.
