Still no word from my wife on what her plans are re the OM. Have spent the last few days helping my wife run errands and doing things with the kids. She seems more interested in doing things together and is taking much more interest in the household. We are laughing and joking more which is great. She has always liked my sense of humour, and over the last couple of weeks I have felt more upbeat and have been letting this part of me come out more.
For the past two years she has done nothing around the house and has been totally disinterested in anything related to our home. Over the past few weeks she has taken a renewed interest in getting things organized and cleaning things up. She also continues to make comments about things in the future that include me. We have a vacation home that we would have to sell if we got divorced and she keeps referring to things that we can use there instead of giving it away.
Getting the OM out of the picture and getting her to stay would be two huge steps forward. This would enable me to keep up the DBing and show her that I can be the husband that she always wished for.
