Wonka,

She has repeatedly asked for "space" since Day 1 of my confrontation of her. I have steadfastly refused, saying "No one ever fixed their marriage from across town," to "I'm not leaving my own house," to "you need to find a way to create space and independence WITHIN your marriage and your family, instead of inappropriately OUTSIDE of it."

If she wants "space," she can leave me and live with her parents or live with OM and his parents. Giving her TOO MUCH space is what led to our problems, and I'm not about to make that mistake again.

But boy oh boy, does she hate me today.

Choc.
