While I dont post on your thread much as you always seemed so far ahead in your sitch I have been keeping up, probably because your advice to others is so sound.

I am so sorry to hear of this latest bump in the road. I think when we are new to this we think that once the WAS comes home or decides to stay home then there will be lots of baby steps towards a wonderfull outcome. Unfortunatly we are just on another roller coaster ride and I think its even harder than the first one.
The first Roller Coaster is about ourselves and while it takes a while to realise it we detach and work on getting ourselves in a better place. This second coaster is much harder because we bring back expectations of what we need from our spouse. We have given "running on empty" for so long we want something back. And we deserve it too! but its not that simple. And I have only been on the second coaster for 2 days and its still sucks.

This looks like a downwards swing on that 2nd roller coaster and I think you need to switch back to acting "as if " for a while and yes that sucks but back off any expectations.

I also hate to ask but is it possible OW has still some influence on what is happening here?

Take care , remember the basics , look after you.
