Hi Salty,

As LH19 hints at, the stronger you DB out-of-the-gate, the more she'll feel your absence. She's on dating sites and potentially spending time with OM. How quickly do you need to reassure, "I'm still here!"

How would you feel about forgetting to reply--you're so busy and no questions?

How would you feel about waiting until tomorrow morning to reply?

Why is that LH? That attitude worked for me with women before I met my W.

I see what you're saying. I guess my intent in responding wasn't to say "I'm still here" as much as "Yup - doing good!" because i know she's thinking something's up at this point. This is the longest we've gone without talking in 15 years. So there's obviously already a huge elephant in the room.

Bent, us women in our 40’s see right through those games and we hate them. Maybe it works on a 20 year old, not a 40 year old woman. We have no time for that anymore.

Ok Salty Dog. Truth be told you are responding to ease your anxiety. Best to start going cold turkey right now.

Alright, I'm going to have to stew on this for a bit.

In the meantime, another question. So in years past she has handled the majority of the Xmas wrapping duties because A) I hate wrapping presents and B) I suck at wrapping presents. So we have all the presents for the kids being wrapped and I was thinking me wrapping them would be a 180 - thoughts?

Simple. Not a question. No need to respond. The urge to respond every time the WAS/WS reaches out is one of the 180s most LBS stand to make.
