18 Years of Marriage - Leaving in June

[habitacker]

Go out. Give her some time alone. It will only help both of you.

As for the things you are doing, cleaning,etc. Remember,no expectations or you will be really frustrated. I have been doing these things for 4 months and have seen no reaction from my W, other than she actually seemed annoyed by them at first.

I have got into the habit of just doing them, and don't even pay attention to what she thinks about it. Almost like a single dad, the crap needs to be done, who else is going to do it?

Sorry rambling. I just wanted to warn you. Chances are this is going to be a long process, so don't be looking for her to notice these things and have a reaction to them.

These chores are not done magically by elves in the middle of the night, so when they are done, and she didn't do them, she will notice, but her reactions are going to be kept to herself. Keep this in mind.
