F4W - I guess I should have chimed in as well. I saw
doom in the valentines thing too. Too much pursuit towards
your wife. While I agree we should all be able to do
what we feel, there are simply times when we shouldn't....
like when you both aren't on the "same page" of your marriage. I will try to catch you next time!

anyway, it just seems to me that you are at Point B, she
is still at Point A...and until you meet up, you just need
to be less obvious in your pursuit and go on with the
other daily events of life.

Another thing I have noticed is that you seem to be forcing
YOUR LL's on her....and wondering why she isn't responding
as you would. You would have loved the Valentines thing if she had done it for you...but it pushed her over the
edge - WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY more pursuit than she was able to
handle at this point in her journey. Like I said, I think
when she meets up with you at Point B, then maybe she
will be more open to this type of affection. But not now.

Hang in there. Our prayers are with your family at the
impending loss of your wife's grandfather.
