I have another question or two, which I hope I can get some response on:
1. Could this new dynamic between my wife and I mean we're in the so-called friendship stage? E.g. Inviting me out for outings with her and my son, being more conversational (nothing serious, just talk), etc.
2. Since my wife wants to separate payments for everything, should I take charge and show her what needs to come out of her pocket vs. mine? Or should I wait for her to offer/ask to pay?
