LM:

Good work.

Do you think she is relieved I am giving her space, or is she perceiving this as a punishment / PA scenario?


I have no idea, nor would I even worry about it, if I were you. Because... that's 'worry.' And worrying is a useless waste of your valuable energy.

If you want to hug or touch your wife, do it. Let her respond or not. Manage your emotions as best you can ... THEN act or respond, if necessary.

Sounds so simple doesn't it?
