Yes, I do. I really am starting to give up control and it seems to be working. I listened intently at dinner and my wife said that I need to learn to let things happen naturally to not force everything. She specifically said that when I push she gets this feeling like she needs to walk away. She knows that is not the right thing to do but that is just who she is.
Now that I know that, I no longer push. Our relationship has really changed. Instead of me being the dominant one I am now looking at her as a partner. Unfortunately we are not completely on the same page, but hopefully we will get there.
I was shocked last night when she texted me saying "I now understand.... I have things figured out.. thank you for your patience." In my eyes, that was a huge step forward.
Playing it cool. To be honest, I really am enjoying the space. It's the best of both worlds... I'm spending time with W and the kidlet and I've got a lot of freedom. Not bad.
