Need advice on WAW with OM

[svejk]

There was an interesting development last night that I am confused about. My wife and I have not spoken or seen each other for about a week since we agreed she needed some time and space to work things out on her own.

I came home around 9 last night after dinner with some friends and my wife was waiting in my house. She was visibly upset and crying. She wouldn't tell me what was wrong other than she had a bad weekend. She asked if she could stay at my house and just have me hold her. Of course I couldn't say no. I'm not sure if I should have let her stay because sometimes I feel like she just uses me when she needs something or is having a difficult time emotionally.

I have a hard time resisting relationship talk when I see her but I managed to keep it to a minimum and we went to bed after some small talk. For a change she was very nice to me and it was nice holding her and the best night's sleep I've had in a long time.

When she woke up in the morning she completely reversed her mood and was very grumpy and actually was yelling at me for no apparent reason. Instead of just letting her leave I made the mistake of following her and trying to find out what was wrong with her. Of course she wouldn't say anything except "leave me alone".

I realize I should have just let her go without asking any questions. Does anyone have any idea what any of this means? Is this type of behavior normal in a WAW that is unsure of what she wants? Is it a good thing that she wanted me to comfort her?
