Quote: Why are these changes so important to her? I'm really trying to understand. Do you think it's because she wants me to be the strong one in this situation...be the rock that brings everything together?
Here is my $.02. I think she thinks, "why should I come back if he doesnt change." I am betting that somewhere in the back of her mind she still thinks that she wouldnt have had an A if you hadnt done 1,2,3,... Not pretty but human.
Can the kids go to Grandma's or somewhere for a night so you each get your "you" time?
