I've Stopped all nagging and smothering texts. Looking back, I laugh at myself when I re read them. It looked like a man possessed. Yea I know she has to add a little charm and a little flirt to maximize tips. I never really had a problem with that part. Thankfully I caught his flirty texts on day one. Read No more mr nice guy, and confronted the om. My wife has a different outlook on me and our marriage.

On avg, I was sending 15 texts and 5 phone calls a day while she was at work, after what I found out. After dealing with the issue and reading nmmng, I avg one text, no calls. Because that book taught me to embrace my alone time to work on me. It promised that mw would recognize this self confidence, test it, and then almost fall in love with me all over again.and it worked like a charm. I can't emphasize this enough, nmmng and my effort on me saved my marriage and made it ten times better than it ever was. Because I worked on me. And put me first for once. I was ready for my new outlook on things to either send the marriage to the grave it was headed for anyways, oror make it the amazing healthy relationship it is today.

You two dont have an issue with sexting or flirting or anything like that. You have an issue with trust. You both do. And if you have no trust, you have no marriage.

People have to understand what type of person they marry.

If you marry a flirt, they'll probably continue to flirt in the marriage. If you marry a jealous person...same thing.

I dont think you were being unreasonable with your texts given the circumstances. I think men need to be more like men when it comes to their wives. Women are not property so ladies don't take this wrong - but men have to stand up for what is "theirs". If not the next guy is going to come right along and take it away.
