She still asks when I am leaving - she still wants me out - I find ways to talk in circles when that subject comes up.
Maybe it would be best not to say anything, rather than talk around it. My H could just give me a long, silent look and say nothing. Yes, it could drive me crazy, but I discovered that a person doesn't "have" to respond with words just b/c somebody spoke to them.
Your W's nerves are shot, to say the least, so more words actually are doing more harm to your R than good.
I would like to hear from you more often, but I understand if you can't do it every night. I do hope you'll keep in contact as often as you can b/c it will help you to talk things over here.
Take care of yourself.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
