Dear Anyone,

I would treat her very well, if I were you.
Here are some suggestions:

Tell her that you don't deserve her; and if she left you, you would be terribly shaken if she did leave you but that you would only be able to remember the good she brought into your life.
Don't even think about cheating on her.
Ask her out on a date, just so you can be alone with her.
Surprise her with little, thoughtful gifts for no particular reason.
Tell her you love just holding her and whispering in her ear.
Tell her that she's the most beautiful woman ever created.
Be nice to her family.
Fix dinner once in a while and do the dishes afterward.
Offer to take the kids so she can have the day to herself.
Turn off the T.V. or computer and go for a leisurely walk along a beach.
Listen to her attentively without offering advice.
Give more than one-word answers.
Clean the bathroom.
Don't look in her stuff without permission.
If she works somewhere that has a fax send her a love note written in a code only known to you two.
Tell her that you rely on her to help keep your head together.
When she smiles at you, smile back and blow her a kiss.
If she offers you dihydrogen monoxide, take it in good humor. Just drink it and hope for the best.
These are all I can think of for now. It's up to you to come up with more. Maybe others can offer suggestions. . .

Of course, you have to mean it for this to be effective. You may also need to write these down, because they're easy to forget. Signing the paper helps. You don't have to tell her about the list -- that's not as important as doing them. You should also read them when you're mad at her; and not tear it up because that'll make you feel sad.

Eventually, the paranoia will be gone and so will the gloves. You'll be able to live together for a long time (in human years).

Wishing you the best,

Stan
