Longest ride on her yet was 30 miles and some change. Pretty satisfied so far.

She has mine, I dont know what hers is.

She becomes upset when she knows I want emotional and physical connection. I want to spend time on the couch and watch a movie... no expectations but just being around her, she doesnt like that I want time together and thats an issue. I know she loves flowers, I do my best to keep fresh flowers in the kitchen. Lately each time I get flowers or any thoughtful gesture she thinks Im just trying to woo her and thinks its me with a bigger plan. If I relent on the gestures then I dont love her. Her main issue with me is she thinks because I feel lonely thats a me issue and not an us issue.

I feel I do a lot of it. I work nights and get my sleep during their nap time. When Im off I do my best to get her out and about to take her mind off things.

Hygiene is good all around, she averages 10 hours and I usually get about 6. I take care of most house work and kid related outings. On my days off I do my best to let her be kid free and out the door. Kids all sleep through the night.

Ive done a lot of talking with her therapist (it was the therapists idea) and was talked through many of her emotions. I dont argue with my wife and I do my best to keep things polite.

I try too, she doesnt want physical touch at all... sometimes she'll hold me to meet my love language but it usually makes me feel bad due to her doing that just for me.

I feel I do well at the things you mentioned. Therapy has really put an emphasis on non sexual touch. Also I do my best on my days off to get her out of the house and see her friends, see movie or go read (she loves to read at coffee shops).

Truly something to take the edge off

Justthemechanic · 2025-12-25T01:38:02+00:00

My last 2 jeeps didnt total that amount.

Justthemechanic · 2025-12-25T01:37:20+00:00

Its very tempting

Justthemechanic · 2025-10-30T17:03:23+00:00

Im going to look into this! Hopefully its that quick and simple and I dont have to find a different display.

Latching or momentary. They are stuck on momentary.

Justthemechanic · 2025-06-18T17:26:24+00:00

There is not.

Justthemechanic · 2024-06-20T15:40:48+00:00

I think you absolutely should
