Well anytime i tell my wife that she is not going to get what she wants, she acts cold to me. Well that has been the story of the day. Cold, and angry towards me.
I've been trying hard to not shrink back, or become defensive when she brings her anger towards me. It's hard to stay open and let her feelings in. I'm trying though.
So, this should be an interesting week, as tommorow my wife goes to see a psych/counselor in the AM (probably just to get some happy pills), and then to see her lawyer in the afternoon. I'm hoping for the best with the counselor as when I talked to my wife today its apparent she has a lot of issues from her childhood regarding relationships she needs to work through. I just hope the psych asks the right questions and doesn't just prescribe.
So I'm excepting some suprises tommorow, but i'm no longer going to let it bother me. I have a good lawyer, and I know i'm going to get joint custody of my kids. I don't really care what else happens, as long as i'm not left tying up all the loose ends of this mess.
So i'm going to continue to love my wife, but no more relationship talks. I'm just going to respond to whatever logistic talks she brings up (i.e. house, money, kids, etc), and do whatever is right for me.
As part of that 'right for me', I am also considering finding a place to rent and live in while we work this stuff out, but i plan on checking with my lawyer first. I just can't imagine living in this big house alone and watching my wife walk out the door.
