tbone,

I don't think you're giving your W enough credit. She doesn't have enough toys to stay married to you?????

If she's not happy, it's not because you aren't providing for her.

So go ahead and date her. That sounds like fun.

I don't think your attitude is where it should be. You've gone from one extreme to another. From obsessing to resignation.

Try to strike a balance, tbone.

Don't raise your expectations, but don't toss out your hopes.

Go on your vacation and have a ball. You don't need toys. you need quality time and fun.

TTFN,
Andy
