I think that was cruel of you to lead your wife on and dump her... I do not think your wives intentions in the sex. dept... was to lead you on like that.<p>I do not know if you are bs or ws... but you definitely did a big lb... and you seem to of been playing tit for tat... this was not loving behavior, it was cruel punishment.<p>Have you read dr. phil's relationship rescue? You may want to take a look at it, and what you do to hurt your relationship... I do not think that your wife, was trying to hurt you by asking to be held... it sounds like you are neglecting her needs, and that makes sf harder for her... you should think about that... that waas a big problem for my H... <p>I think that is terrible, how you willfully and meaningfully lead your wife on... I do not think she led you on in the same way. I think if you spent some time holding her, and caring for her... even NONfinancially, then she would want more sf... and even if the other night you turned to her, and held her for a while, then perhaps sf would of come sooner, and more willingly, as she would be in a mental position to surrender to you... based on the trust and communcication in your relationship... I am sickened by how bad you treated her... you do not have to spend all that money on your wife... but pretending that you would... and letting her down, was cruel... She obviously was enjoying your special treatment of her, and I think as your wife she deserved to be treated special. Also , lots of women like tennis bracelets even if they don't play tennis that is just what they are called.<p>I suggest you offer to make up for your immature and cruel treatment of her, and tell her you would like to rebuild things and show her how sorry you are... if you truly are... but frorm the sounding of your posts... I think you don't care. I am sorry that you treated her so cruelly... I would be sick over this sort of treatment to me, and repulsed by you.<p>HONEY [img]images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0[/img]
