Newbie In Need Of Guidance

just by the way you have focused on a single snide remark from your W.

I interpret this as you think the comment about forgetting her number was a snide remark and not a temp check. Am I correct?

I'm curious because to me a temp check would mean I have at least gotten her attention a bit, which is at least a start.

Honestly, and I don't want you to think my goal here is to insult you,

Ok. So you think I'm a wuss. No offense taken. Seriously. As I said before, I have thick skin. I want your honest opinion and the unabashed truth. I'm not here for a pity party (although I do appreciate the words of encouragement and understanding I have received), I am here to save my family.

I keep reading "tough love" and "dominance over your W." I get it, but there is virtually no interaction between my wife and I since I started trying to follow the program here (there was something today I will ask your opinion on tomorrow). What are some ways I can accomplish this when I can barely get her to string together multiple words when speaking to me?


I have reread th posts in this thread and the examples I am seeing involve verbal cues to assert dominance. What do women see as nonverbal cues? I think I am going to have to start there until we start speaking more.
