This is a creation by you to set her up to fail, to give you an excuse to withdraw, to avoid intimacy. The new intimacy in your M means you should feel good about the changes in your wife.

Cobra, wow.

This is brilliant, and explains something that's happening with me and my bf, too.

ETA: All I'm asking is that he be kind about it. I don't mind being challenged or questioned. I don't want rudeness. It's always the manner of deliver that gets to me, not the content of the message.

I'm not trying to force him to change. All I asked HERE was why can't he be kind about it.

He even said yesterday that he could do what I was asking him to do, but he won't.
