In my case, my wife's tolerance for my stopping my pursuit stopped only when I threatened to leave her and get my own place. When that happened, a fortnight of HD, attention, respect, affection and other lovely things kicked in, but then it quickly faded. I'm afraid -- like so many others' stories on here -- that she only takes me seriously when she thinks she's going to lose me.
I DO think she wants to be pursued. She just doesn't want to actually be caught. And without the reward of an eventual catch, this pursuer has stopped pursuin'.
