Sorry Cobra, but my W can smell bullsh*t a mile away. This post would peg her bs-o-meter by the end of the third sentence. I know, because I've written stuff like it before, and I totally WAS being honest. She doesn't like or want any sugar coating. She would read a sentence like I ask for your guidance to help me in my growth, just as I know you have tried so hard to become the loving, compassionate, but strong wife that I so want.and would call it self-serving pablum. I know her.
I'm not insulting your words, my friend. And certainly not the meaning behind the words. I'm just saying that it's not going to fly with her.
And frankly, what's so wrong about being a "little confrontational" and putting her on the spot? If she thinks she's being put on the spot, she can respond to it by being open and honest, or by lashing out, or however she wants. I don't think it's that confrontational, anyway. Come on, dude, you asked me to strap on some balls, now let me swing them around a bit.
