Quoting ANSI feel that W is on such an independence kick that she refuses to accept my support, friendship, and help of any kind – except when it comes to my duties as a father and provider[/quote:
I completely understand and relate to your frustrations concerning this! My wife HAS got to make it on her own...it is part of HER plan and DOES interfere with her desire to have me around sometimes! Lately she has told me that she has wanted me around...has needed me, but that she has got to prove to herself that she can go it alone! I dont see these two:independence/support, as being exclusive of one another and dont quite know how to relate this to my wife! Simply stating it is no good either.
She is going to a wedding on Saturday night and is going ALONE just to prove to herself that she can! Perhaps she WOULD like me to go with her but she can not ask me to. Because tehn she would be admitting that she does desire my friendship and support? Not sure. But the aspect of "what will evryone else think" does also come into play with my wife. If we are seen together...as in a date, a wedding or something, then it is bad!
My only hope is that going to a wedding WILL perhaps make her think about ours!
Sorry I cant offer any help...just trying to say I do understand!
