About this resource
When you want to contact your wife during a period of distance or uncertainty, the feeling that you need to send something can easily become confused with having an actual reason to contact her.
The Quick Contact Decision Card is a compact tool for checking that distinction.
Use it before non-routine contact to ask whether the message has a genuine practical job to do, whether a boundary has been clearly stated, whether the issue can wait, and whether the urge to send is mainly being driven by panic or the need for reassurance.
The card does not tell you to disappear, play games, or manufacture distance.
Its purpose is simply to help you make the contact decision more deliberately.
