I have a couple of questions that I would love some advice on please:
1. What do I do about money? My wife hasn't worked since she became pregnant with our first 5 years ago. I have always paid all the bills and handled the money. I get the feeling that it is part of the paternalistic element she is fighting against. But I don't know how to involve her in the bill paying/finances without seeming like I am trying to find a way to spend time with her.
2. I have been lovingly detached for a few days now. I can feel my wife building toward a "are you mad at me?" moment. What do I do if she asks? What if she asks why I seem so distant? It seems obvious but I don't know how to handle it.
3. My wife has this way of looking at me in this sad way that says, "I'm sad about what is going on. Say something." She has done it twice since she asked for a divorce. Both times I blew it and set to begging. What should I do if she does it again? Do I engage and say "you look upset? Do you want to talk about it?" Or do I just ignore it? What is the protocol?
