What caused me to take notice? The truck that hit me. It shouldn't of took that, but it did.

Who has more value? Me, because I still love her, and want the life I know we can have. I can see what we can be. There are a million reasons, but I am not sure I am telling you what you want to hear.

This goes back to validation. Validate what she says when she talks. What do you think you could do to shake things up a bit?

She doesn't talk about R. We never have, other than D-day. I have been waiting to validate her feelings, but she never shows any. Hiding like she has done for years.

How come your wife can't see it? Hint: because you are pursuing her.

It's a two pronged approach - be the man she fell in love with and is beneficial for you while at the same time giving her space (detaching, dropping the rope, GAL, being mysterious). Let her pursue you. Let her feel the space. Learn how women think and communicate.

Don't let her mind read or put up with crap behavior (affairs fall in this category). Women tie their feelings of love to respect, if she can walk all over you she can't respect you.

Shake things up? Well, last week when I went out, and did not tell her where I was going, I took the massage oil/personal lubricant out of her medicine cabinet with me. Left label by sink so I know she saw it.

No reaction, not a word.

coach, where do you get pursuing? I don't even talk to her. We are rarely in the same room.

How has she walked all over me?

She treats me like nothing is wrong.

The man she fell in love with was a very pursuing man, that is how I got her.

Then why are you here?

How is she treating you? How's your sex life? Does she talk to you? Does she share her feelings?

Describe your dating, what did you do?

She wants a D, but everyday is like nothing is wrong. She acts like everything is fine. But,yes,there is no us.

She talks some about everyday things, but as for sharing feelings no. Never has. She holds them all in.

I was just myself and treated her nice. I was always trying to do romantic stuff, but I don't know how to do that without being pursuing.

I have to go, thanks coach. I am trying, but I don't seem to be getting your point. Could you be a little more blunt. Thanks.
