W has agreed to go to Retrouvaille. We have one locally the weekend of 10/9. I'm getting information, she's checking with MIL to take care of the kids.
She said she's not making any promises, and I said I want to make sure I've done everything I can, and she agreed.
We talked a bit about all this.
She said that something came out in the counciling session we had, where I made some statement that she's nurturing; her response is that she's felt that she's had to take care of me. I said that, whatever happens, I've realized that I need to find balance in my life and be able to take care of myself.
And she said: and to be happy! She said, that's killed her, that it's one thing to "fall out of love" with someone, which she views as "feeble" - but she felt like she had to pull back because I was unhappy. (Work stress)
Then she said that, part of her feels almost selfish in getting to spend a weekend with me, that there's a part of her that still loves me.
