KLM - Thank you so much for your insight into piecing. You just described my wife perfectly.
She came on really strong 2 weeks ago and has now pulled back a bit. When I have offered to do some really nice things for her, at times she replies... I don't deserve it, I have not been a very good wife for the past 6 months.
I say.... how could you be a good wife when we were separated? Was I a good husband then?
I think she sees the changes that I have made and really likes the new me. That has resulted in her feeling some guilt over our situation. Her friends have also reinforced this feeling by telling her that she almost made a huge mistake when she asked me to leave 6 months ago.
I think all of this is a big adustment for the Mrs and she just needs a bit of time to digest all of these changes.
It just hard when they come at you so strong and then pull back.
