Journaling...

It was Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. Wife, kids and I went to her father's for dinner. We have not done that in years due to strained relations - but it went fairly well.

Wife was a little warmer to me the last couple of days. Spoke to me more and didn't feel as cold. She is still feeling ill and very stressed out at work (as usual) so even if things were "normal" she could be expected to only be so nice. But, overall she did seem friendlier.

But...then last night she did something odd. She didn't sleep naked as she has forever. I have also noticed that she seems to make an effort to keep her body covered by blanket during the night. I may be making too much of this, but considering how she feels about me sexually, maybe not. I am doing well with the detachment, so this really isn't bothering me - just noting it.

In fact, the detachment seems to be coming more naturally now. My wife has a busy work and social week planned, and I don't care. We likely won't really see each other until Sunday, and that's fine with me. I'm at the point again, where any outcome is ok with me. I just want to live my life more fully - with or without her.
