When I left the house this morning, she asked what the smell in our bedroom was. I said cologne. She asked what's it called. When I came home today she had her face all made up and she said she only went to the grocery store w/ S3. She is noticing the changes. She keeps testing me about talking about R. I am continuing to listen and validate and keep my eyes open and my mouth shut. (Thanks OldPilot)

I'll ask again:

She wants clear explanations of how different things are going to work around the house.(i.e. bills, housework, taking care of S3, etc.) I feel that she wants this b/c her world is spinning. I have delayed for now by validating her feelings and saying I needed time to think about it. I feel that she is looking for ways to control the sitch. Any ideas on keeping the sitch fuzzy?

Or am I off base? Just tell me. Thanks.
