I think i agree with Muddle here.Thats the feeling i seem to get whenever i want to talk about US is that when she says she dont want to i feel like she doesnt care about my feelings and normally i or both of us shut down after that.
I remember a post of yours Gh, a while back about falling back into the same ole marriage.I can see that so clearly now.It feels like(and is mostly true)that i feel like i have changed and she is still the same person.Change meaning the way i think of marriage and relationships,and what i would like one to be.
