Well, I am now heading back home, to a few days with W and kids, when we'll have a cousin of mine and her family come up and visit. W said she will not be home so much, got to work, is that okay - I said sure, we'd have dinner together on Saturday in any case.
W had a minor crisis a few days ago, having to quickly buy new expensive software for her work, something I then organized while over here. She was appropriately thankful, but her tone is still distant - all her emails sign off with 'have a good day' -
I am off to Germany all of next week for work, then finally home late next Friday night.
When will this cold demeanor change? Ever?
Still plan to have a face to face talk at some nice restaurant and ask what she wants to do. The "too bad to stay, too good to leave" book is really helpful - a help in making the decision whether to stay or leave, and I will recommend it to her. If after reading it, she thinks it is better to leave, then it probably is (unfortunately). With the absurdly easy no fault, no alimony, 50-50 split of everything and of the kids, Sweden would at least make the legal side relatively painless...
The emotional side would be another story ... but that bridge is still not visible ...
