Definitely a cross that bridge when we come to it sort of thing. And I agree, probably a combination of things, but I think guilt is fairly big. I don't think she is distracted, but maybe depressed. She seems down fairly often.
It was just a thought. Probably a protective mechanism for me...an "if we don't get back together then at least that is one problem I don't have to deal with". Know what I mean? Kind of like if your spouse was say a spendaholic...you might say..."the problem will still be there so maybe it's best we don't get back together."
Probably just idle musings at this point,, but I feel our issues in this area, mainly my wife's issues with me, will have to be largely resolved if there is any hope of reconciliation. I'm not going to broach the subject at all...just be as much of a dad as she lets me be.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
