My 29 year old wife going through MLC, this sucks

[BSC]

Some positive news today!! Last night when I was leaving to go out for my birthway, W was being very nice to me but seemed sad. We had carved pumpkins and I opened gifts from the kids and it was nice. It just seemed like she wanted to say something. So I just thanked her for the nice birthday and left.

This morning she wasn't sad anymore but was still being nice and having conversation. She took a shower while I was getting the kids dressed and for the first time in a while she let me see her naked. Usually she will attempt to cover up a bit. So after she was dressed she came to me and quietly uttered my name and said: "I kind of wanted to give you a hug, is that okay". Now you may think I am crazy but that was like music to my ears. We have not hugged really in over two months. So, I held her tight and we hugged for quite some time. She cried on my shoulder a bit, and told me that she "still is so confused". I just kept holding her close and told that I know she is confused and that it is okay. After that we hugged for a little longer and she gave me a couple soft kisses and I left for work.

I never thought a hug could feel so good. I know that this probably means nothing, I know it could be guilt, I know that by tonight she could me angry and scared. But I am going to enjoy that hug all day.

We have talked several times more today and she picked something up from me with the kids a few minutes ago and she is still being nice and not shutting me out. My plan is to stay calm and keep myself grounded. Believe me, I know things can turn bad real fast but right now I am just going to enjoy that baby step.
