Puppy,
Aside from this EA the underlying issue had been I did not love enough, care enough or to much of anything to show appreciation. I will still monitor her interactions with OM but to ensure there will not be another OM I have to exhibit behavior not of the past but rather someone who can love her unconditionally and show appreciation. I am in a tough situation...

As for an update... We did end up going to the movies, she was short with me and distant as usual. I did "test" her out by simply placing my arm on the same armrest as her, in the past she would move or adjust so I was not touching her and her me. We did share a few laughs. I don't like to read into too much but she used words like "we" and "us" but most of the time she tries to avoid those words. I held back by not saying or doing things that would had been considered pressuring.

I am doing a balancing act. Letting her know that I care through my tone and actions but not so much that I push her to discomfort.

Something I was curious about... Ever since the day my wife told me she wanted separation about 7 weeks ago she has been taking 3-4 baths in a 24 hr span. I know even before all this mess she like to relax in the bath often...maybe I just did not pay attention to her like I do now, not sure. Any ideas?
