So a bit more to add this evening. She returned from her conference and I was home with our girls. She was excited to see the girls and apparently glad to see me. But she really wanted to see the girls.
We chatted a bit like we have been doing and clearly she liked sharing and having me ask about things. BUT it was clear to me she needs space right now. She's made a few steps forward but is still a very long way off. So the balancing act for now, more space with a few sprinkled acts of service.
BTW, my wife went out of town yesterday morning to go to a conference. So I was at our home with our girls while she was away. I decided to do something nice for her for when she returned. So I had turned down her bed ala turndown service at a hotel, left her a fresh towel, pjs, a basket with bath salts, lotion and such along with a note telling her here was stuff for her to help her relax after her 3 hour drive. She really appreciated the thought and effort. Don't know if took advantage of it but she appreciated it nonetheless. Its nice to know it was greatly appreciated. I had also taken care off the enormous amounts of leaves that had fallen the last few days making the driveway difficult to drive up. She specifically mentioned the leaves to me and thanked me.
Now I'll give her a few days to space.
