If nothing else, I've always been a sensitive kinda guy.

Eventually, though, I took her at her word and began distancing myself from our liaison. And, would you believe? ... she soon started complaining that we weren't seeing enough of one another.

"Well", I replied, "YOU told me you wanted more space!". "Yes," she retorted, "But there's 'space' ... and there's 'OUTER Space' ...!"
Wow! 24 years of happy marriage.
Arth, women always complaining. You give everything and sometimes not happy still. My Nanay said, there is only one GLORY in marriage. If you are unhappy with your first wife, surely you'll find glory with your second or 3rd wife. If you are happy with your first wife and she died, it will be hard for you to find glory if you marry again. But men are always lucky as they always found glory than women.
