You stayed away from your *wife* for 4.5 years ? Are you *just* back ? I'd expect that to be a little weird for a while, at least. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

It would only be weird if she was referring to him by the mailman's name and they had a couple more kids than when he last counted... Okay, that wouldn't be weird... Let's see... Okay, i think I have one... It would be weird if she preferred spending "quality time" with the family mule (and those "extra" kids had an eerie resemblence to the mule). Yeah, i think that's got it.

When I started working in 1986, I was 300 miles away from where the rest of my family lived, so, I saw them a few times a year. In 1999, I moved a further 900 miles away. In 2004, I saw my brother and sister-in-law for the first time in 6 years. As my wife said, it was as though we had spent no time apart; we still acted like a couple of children! If you are away from your family, communication can help bridge the gap; write letters (with pen and paper), send cards, call them...

Did you have much contact with them in that period? I think it's not abnormal that you don't feel the closeness as you've all probably grown in different directions. Also, the stupid jokes and references that build from being around people every day aren't there anymore. As was stated, time should help fix that. BW
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

People have feelings. When you include them in your daily life, you grow closer. When you ignore them, you grow apart. That's both an explanation of your problem and the solution, all in one tidy bit. :) Author of The Career Programmer and Unite the Tribes

They will then call you everyday asking for it back. Seriously though family is family. I recently visited with my cousin after not seeing him for nearly a decade. The first 10min were kind of ackward and then we were like brothers again. If you want a rememedy spend time with them. The gap will disappear quickly.

- time and visit more often. 2) if you can't visit more often, then use the telephone. I know it's so 19th century, but hey, it's what we got. 3) if you can't afford to use the telephone, try email. 4) if you can't afford the internet access, try snail mail (postal mail). 5) if you can't afford that, then move closer to your home. Then, go to step 1 ---sig---
