I have been following your posts because I feel that our situations are very similar. Right now I think that my wife is staying for the kids vs financial reasons. This gives me some comfort because she has focused the attention from her needs to those of our kids.
My challenge is to try and live like roommates for the rest of my life vs husband and wife. Certainly not what I had in mind when we got married. I am sure that the previous version of me, the angry, self-centered person was not what she bargained for either.
I need to keep focused on being the new me, no slip ups and no new reasons for my wife to find fault with me. This evening ended on a positive note with my wife asking if she could come to the gym with me. She recently joined the same gym as me, but was going at different times. I never asked her to go with me because I didn't want to be seen as pursuing.
Funny how we can find hope in the smallest action.
