All, I am kinda in the same boat right now. I have been back at home for about 6 weeks now and I have totally thrown myself into being the best father and husband I could be. I want to be that husband that my wifes friends say,"Dam your lucky to have that man." I cook dinner every night, candle light dinner once or twice a week, clean, I literally am doing everything in the house. Not that I am resentful of that, because I truely love doing what I am doing. This is me, I am giving everything and always will.
The problem is, I don't feel like I am getting the same in return. A couple things come to mind. First, all of a sudden her friends, that were never that close, are now all of a sudden a huge priority, and I feel like I am not. She is so worried about letting them down and not fulfilling commitments to them that she is letting her commitment to myself, our daughter, and our family slip.
I am holding out, holding out hope that her guilt and depression will subside and I can have my wife back.
Keep your head high and give all you can. If it doesn't work out you can leave with a clear conscience.
