Today, when I got home from the store and was unloading groceries the W stopped me and said "You've done a good job giving me space, but I wanted to know if you need to talk I'm here". I said "Okay".
She kept going. She said that she was sorry she waited so long to tell me how she felt. That this was about her and not me. How no matter what she wants me to be happy and we need to think of the kids. That we will have to work through any anger.
I said that I'm fine. That I know I can be happy even if we don't stay together, but that I did want to stay married. I said I'm not angry (I'm really not strangely). She said she hopes I'm working on figuring out what makes me happy. I said I am. She said she doesn't know where this is going and wants time. I said fine. Take all the time you need.
Does anyone have any insights on this behavior? Is this in response to me being detached and not talking about the future? Normally she would never have started this discussion. I'm the one who always talks about the R.
