You know your wife better than anyone here, just some of us know MLC behaviour pretty well.
An interest in the weather is a far cry from interest in looking for a job. Many reasons for checking your local weather, and while they are warm fuzzy reasons, the very least she is thinking of you in some form.
You already brought it up and 'it did not go well.'
Has something drastic changed between now and then?
As for you friend, tell him the truth. That right now she is not really interested, who knows what will happen in the next year or so.
Lying for the MLC spouse, even the white ones sets you on a path you don't want to walk down.
Quote:
When they happened in the past I went back to my old ways and just pushed her away.
A valuable lesson to learn. Glad you got it.
You mentioned the roller coaster.
If you keep both good and bad expectations to a minimum it is not so bad. You cannot get excited or hopeful at small things from her until they are consistent. You cannot worry about 'what if's' they will drive you crazy.
You get through this one day at a time. "Today is not the day you quit. And more than likely you won't quit tomorrow, but let's see what tomorrow brings." Repeat that every day.
