I know for me at least, when I would put myself in that mind frame, I didn't walk away sad either. I didn't walk in hopeful. Bc when you are thinking "babysitter" you don't get hopeful ya know?
I hope it doesn't sound offensive. Obviously she is your wife, and there will be situations that require more depth. But for week to week transitions, babysitter all the way!
Remember, this is to help YOU get back to your self. I am always trying to get you right and a good mental. That is what is attractive.
