The adventure chronicles

[GH31]

We talked a few times this week and every time it's pressure about what my decision is. If I bring up counseling, she hangs up the phone. Then she'll call back and say she's ready to move on.

I shook my head as I read this. It's a wind-up, it really is. Screwing around with your head like this.

I'll be honest. I want her to come home because I love her

Of course you do mate.

but I don't want to put up with this anger crap.

And you don't have to. I think it's great that you're not taking her back unconditionally, that you're keeping the readmission price high.

She says she doesn't want to be alone anymore. I can only assume that she'll have someone else very quickly if I decide she can't come home based on this past year.

Then let her. Nothing will ever be as good as you and she knows this. She simply, somehow, needs to make the conceptual leap to mutual respect and keeping you at ease when you discuss topics about which you have a difference of opinion.

Please don't take her back until/unless you're sure that she gets this.
