My W and I were like newly weds weeks before she left me (calm before the storm). She used Craiglist as well to find a room in WH then she dropped the bomb and left the next day.
We are far from being newly weds.
I explained to W the other day that I respect her choice and although I don't want the house I understand that she needs some help to make it sellable. I said that we can discuss those details some other time. I had already offered to replace the boiler the same morning and was not going to back offf from that promise.
I also said that I want to be able to look back at all this some day and say that I did everything right and kept my integrity, respect and honor.
This was the beginning of all the fun we have had lately. She was very happy inside to hear that. The crazy woman who was running around the house taking pictures of it and thinking that I was going to burn it down the next day has crawled into a hole for good.
I see my W acting almost like normal. This is not to say that she will come back to me, but I am not pulling and I'm standing proudly out of her way.
