1) For her to contact me just to ask how I am-nothing more. 2) For her to speak to me without anger in her voice 3) For her to return home by Aug. 1st
One and two are good. I think #3 is setting yourself up for disappointment. A decision to leave wasn't made quickly or lightly, even if it appeared to be. After getting to that point, even if she is second guessing herself (and at this point I don't think she is) she isn't coming back that quickly. She will be thinking for a while that you are just going to go back the the same thing, and a couple of weeks isn't enough to even dent that. If this is going to work you need to be prepared to go at it for the long haul. In my opinion, if she comes back sooner rather than later the situation is going to be more tenuous, with lots of walking on eggshells. It will be better for her to know it is what she wants. Look, you yelled at her that you wanted a divorce, after agreeing that you would never do that. And more than once. You say you didn't mean it, but what does it look like from her point if view? It's going to take a while....
