My wife seems to only want to be with me when there is something in it for her. It seems like she only goes places with me if it is where she wants to go otherwise she is too busy. There are lots of other things too. I think she is playing the game of wanting always for me to do the chasing and running around, always her way. I am getting fed up of the games, 20 years now. How can I turn this around? Any ideas? Very Happy

Find ways to enjoy yourself, without her company.

Certaily you want your wife to spend more time with you, doing what you want to do. it is important to know what you want, and to let your wife know what it is that you want her to do for you.

If I do something by myself, I try to offer for my wife to come along. I keep ready for her rejecion, and avoid playing into an emotional projection of disappointment.

When I do things by myself, I find a way to nake things fun for myself. Sometimes I bring an imaginary friend.

The easiest person to change is myself. If my wife does not accept an invitaiton, I find a way to do what I want to do, by myself.
