Trying to get WAW back

[Dom R]

W went absolutely ballistic. Telling me that "you don't hit my child" and "I wish you are gone tonight and I'm glad I don't have to deal with you much longer" and etc etc etc. Eventually she calmed down and I think we are ok now. But does anyone think she WAY overreacted?

Under stress, peoples' true (immediate level) feelings tend to come out.

This says, she views your children, as HER children, that you are a dispensable part of her family, and she'll be happy when she no longer has to deal with you as part of "her family".

She may have deeper longer-term feelings of care about you. But in the "right here, right now", I'd say this outburst from her may indicate her actual feelings about you in the current month.

So it sounds like she's planning for me to come back....

it's just words, Dave. Unless your wife is a "never lie, never decieve" kind of person.. it's just words. they may indicate her feelings... or they may be an attempt to give you warm fuzzy feelings that "things will work out", only so that you will take the separation without fighting.

you're not a mindreader, so you cant really tell.
Is your wife an "always honest" person?
