his W seems to be all over the place feeling wise, he never did enough emotionally yet she can't definitively say how and she is anxiety ridden on working on the MR while time apart has been a weight off her shoulders.
there's so much level of expectation of today's lady that is so completely ambiguous that they can't even define it for us guys and we are not mind readers as Wanted1 says. i believe in marriage, in love and want that for the future, but honestly given what i read/see perhaps it's best to not try again. at some point guaranteed over the rest of my life i'd slip/take my foot off the gas in trying to emotional fulfill my lady and then the MR is done for. not saying i should not be constantly trying to keep my W emotionally fulfilled, but I think the level of need now simple outweighs my ability to give it and even if i slipped and asked what it was a modern lady needed, i don't believe they can actually tell me.
again this is a self reflection/evaluation for me based on things i'm reading/seeing. if i don't believe i can meet the needs of a modern woman, then much better to simply not give it another shot to save both them and myself from a failure somewhere down the road.
