Frank_D,

Just had a talk with my wife. She is planning on moving to her parents house with the kids within the next week. I did as you said and asked her if she would stay so we could work together. She said that she doesn't see that happening because she doesn't feel secure with me. For her, she needs to know that I will take care of her and our kids. I asked if that was the problem and she said it was a big piece. I then asked what is the other piece and she said "trust and respect". She said that she needs to know that her husband will always be strong and can fix the problems.

We talked about the house and the kids and I could see she was getting emotional and she said "this sucks". I then proceeded to tell her about my job interviews and she finally seemed interested. Maybe it is wishful thinking but I felt that she was having a slight case of "second thoughts".

I did not bring up the OM as I felt we had a very good talk. I think the leaving thing is starting to be closer to a reality for her and it is not as easy.

Any thoughts...
