Quote: Having patience is real hard. Not showing disappointment when she is aloof is hard. See for me I look and say she doesn't care when she does that; but then she does things like going to dinner or bowling or skating???
Maybe she doesn't care or maybe she doesn't want to care or maybe she has other things on her mind or maybe she's having PMS. We are going round and round here. Your emotions are tied to her. Try your hardest to extricate your feelings from what she is or isn't doing. Frank, be yourself. If that says, "I want to see my kids since I'm here", then do it. Greet her in passing, but just take the time to see your kids and go with a pleasant goodbye. You don't have to go out of your way to avoid her, just don't go out of your way to show her that you care. Even married you would have to learn to deal with her being aloof, standoffish, or moody. Practice dealing with it.

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
