Ok...need so more help here!!

My wife told me last tonight that all of my new attempts of kind gestures...telling her how much I appreciate her...hugging her...offering to make her a bubble bath or to put in simply...Show her that I am a changed person...has backfired!! She told me that I sound like a book and that I'm trying to hard!! She said she doesn't like the new me because it took her to tell me that she didn't love me anymore for me do start doing these things!! I can't win!! She won't talk to me about her feelings anymore...and if I do she snaps at me and says "What happen to giving me space"? It seems that the situation is so backwards here!! She is the one that had an EA and I am paying for it! I know that I was not there to meet all of her EN over the years but she is not in the least bit grateful that I am trying to change who I am and that I’m trying to SHOW her now that I love her!! Is there anyone out there that can give me some insight so that I can go about this in a different way?

If you need background info on my situation you can read up on my thread titled "My Wifes EA" in General Question II.

Thanks,

Feeling Lost

Have you exposed the affair to the OM's wife? Have you exposed this affair at all? It sounds to me like she is having an affair and has no use for you. You need to work on killing her affair.
