Should I really start to show that I love my wife or just back off.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">What would starting to show that you love your wife look like? Would it be an email or a phone call once a week, saying, "hon, just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you. How's your day going?" Or would it be controlling and smothering and over the top? I think there are ways you can show your love that are non-threatening. You know your wife best. What would work for her, in her present frame of mind? I think showing your wife you love her and "backing off" (if that's what she needs) can both be done.

To Forgive, Not Forget
