I am taking you advise. I am going to do a 180 on her. I started today. I know it is a shot in the dark. I need to get something going for my peace of mind. I dont her to think she can have her cake and eat it too!!.<BR>I hope this works.

MHW,<BR>If you have tried one way for long with no indication of success it might be time for you to try "do a 180" or "LRT" (which basically are the same thing. <P>Also:<BR>- Be nice to her (PLAN A)<BR>- Be upbeat/"Don't care"<BR>- No smothering<BR>- Be her best friend<BR>- etc. etc.<P>Remember that it must seem sincere and you must continue the 180 until you are sure of a permanent change in your wife.<P>Good luck!<P>My 180 haven't seen any change so I'm not sure I have any success. In fact it seems like my wife is doing 180 on me for other things instead (180+180=360 degrees=0 degrees so it kind of equals out ;-)<P>scandinavian

I started it this weekend. I also told my wife that this is my life. I am going to start to enjoy myself. She will have to start to be around for the kids more. I have not gone out with my friends for awhile. For the last year, I have been a totally family man. She was a little upset. She went out for a few hours. My kids are great. I told them to say a pray before bed. I went to say goodnight to them. My son says: we say our prayer. We also say one for mommy, that is protect & come home safely. We attend a wedding this weekend. She talks to me as always. We can talk about any thing except our feelings for each other.<P><BR>Goober & Scandinavian,<BR>I will let you know what happen?<P>Scandinavian,<P>What are the telling signs? How do you know if you are getting anywhere with your her?<P><BR>
