Mixed Signals or Just My Imagination ?

[native]

Any one out there care to comment on my W's change in behavior ?
I know the WAW will vacillate, so I am not getting overly excited.
In fact, other than the obvious happiness expressed by our daughter at the fact that her parents got along together today, I have some amount of dread regarding her possible return.

I don't think I can take another prolonged episode of her unhappiness and general anger towards me. I have begun to imagine a life without her. I've started to have dreams and goals beyond just surviving day to day.

If my WAW has begun a real change in direction, I don't want to end up where we were before. I don't want to be the one who has to be responsible to do everything (cook, child care, bills, etc)while she sits back and criticizes, like she is being the responsible one.

One of the benefits to her moving out has been that she has had to do many of the things that she previously took for granted.

She flat out admitted last night that she could not cook nearly as good as I. ( Actually, I don't think she has made more than a dozen 'meals' since she moved out, but I haven't been there every night.)

Anyway, I know a number of folks here have felt ambivalence about the return of the WAW at times: the broken trust, sense of betrayal, anger, and all the other stuff.

Anyone got a magic wand to wave over this sitch ?
