Shame on you! "I have TOLD her---". Were you not a teenager and have your folks TELL you something? How did you react to their overbearance?
You see early in our relationship H and I did the "If someone had to die talk". His descision was that the kids were less valuable than the wife. For with the wife you could have more kids. BELIEVE ME that was a shocker to the nurturing woman/mother! (Looking back on it my life has been my daughter. ATM I have a slight smirk on my face. I wonder if he'd say the same now?) But I digress...
You want. Oh how you want. You seem to be jealous of your family for stealing away your wife's time from you. OK...use that to your advantage. What can you do to alleviate her schedule to allow more time for you? It won't be quick for us women have a tendency to fill up extra time with more extrainia. Keep your eyes open for this behavior saying something like "Mrs CM lets do this instead". NOT SEXUAL first...a show...a truck pull...a home improvement deco show. Fill up her time with YOU.
Pls don't TELL her. The animosity will overwhelm her and she will fight back with anger and cold.
Wouldn't you?
There is a flip side to this. After H retired he looked to me to "entertain" him 100% of his waking day. No Way could I even come close to this. How crowded out and no private time. (There is a limit to the AirForce Museum, Navy Docks, Old Forts etc you can see with being told "I turned down the other bed for you") So be realistic in the amount of attention you need.
