"Alpha male" I'm not, which you know is probably half my problem. And I've been so buried in my own problems lately that I haven't posted to your thread, but I have been following it every day and I wanted to say:
that I tend to agree with Blackfoot that there are a LOT of positive signs from your wife right now!
Of course, it could be rightly pointed out that "if Chocky was so good at noting positive signs, how come he never gets any?", but we'll save that for another day. I'd rather stick with what Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said once about pornography:
"I can't define it, but I know what it is when I see it."
I do think I'm seeing successful dynamics going on between you and the W lately. KEEP IT UP!!!
