Anyone can answer. W had A w/supposedly best friend 5 months ago. Says she loves me but can't show it as well as I'd like. For instance, today: got home from work this morning (7:30 am) stayed up to so that both could takes kids to school. Little one was sick had to go to Dr. I asked if after Dr. visit she could come home and both her and little would take nap with me? She told me OK. (Neither got very much sleep because little on sick). After Dr. visit she received call from step-sister who needed a sitter for a little while. I called and that's when she told me ( could have called to let me know ) this brings up the defense is she being honest ( I know she is but... ) Anyway after waiting and waiting I finally fell asleep. It was 2:00 p.m. by the time she came home. Woke to her changing clothes. She states been at sis house all day so that you could sleep. OK. Well have to work some OT today came in early. Instead of attempting quality time with me she's cleaning dinner dishes. I show affection in the BD Room XXXOOOXXX just before leaving. When she comes to front door to see me off I want a good-bye kiss and I get a look like I kissed you in the BD Room why do you need more? She did any way I left to work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> . Why is she having trouble showing affection like I want??

zorweb,

The answer to that question is a resounding YES!! Her answer is always I love you and I don't know why you need me to show you affection all of the time. Even after explaining that this is one, no, my biggest need she thinks everything is fine. I'm having a little trouble getting her to commit to my recovery. I'm probably going to get in trouble at work because of too much time on the net printing all of the MB info that I can. Still she's not really willing to commit to reading it. What do I do??
