I feel like if I can be patient, listen to her, not freak out or be too bummed out when I talk to her... perhaps we can get ourselves on some sort of a road.
So you've heard some encouraging things from your wife. It's always nice to get some positive feedback for a change.
Dangerous too though...
Yeah, patience is important.
And you can't allow expectations to creep in.
Keeping the focus on yourself and the things YOU need to do, while at the same time taking advantage of opportunities to SHOW who you are becoming...all good.
You're carrying the marital weight for two. That's just how it needs to be for now. This is where you are living up to the "for worse", "for poorer", and "in sickness" parts. It's hard, you get frustrated, and it's a challenge to not get angry. These are things to watch out for, because having them pop up in interactions with you wife can cause real setbacks.
Steady...
Blessings,
Bill
