Sure. I meant that it's naive to think that being conciliatory during this stage of your sitch will "gain you points" somehow with your wife. More likely, she will respond to your strength, and standing up for yourself more.

Specifically, nearly everyone has advised you NOT to move out, for many and various reasons. It's seemed to me that your ONLY reason to not do so, was that you were somehow trying to appease your wife, in the hopes that it could score you points and that she'd view you more favorably.

I think that's naive.
