Am I on the right track?

[~¤DG¤~]

I do think you are on the right track, and I see positives in your story.

Now that you have made the decision to take time for yourself, use that time for yourself and leave her be. I know how hard that can be, I'm like you, I'm a talker/texter and it goes against everything about me to not do it. I'll be the first to admit I haven't been doing the best at it either. I need to get serious about detaching. It's hard, because we love our spouses so much, and just want them to know how much we love them and how sorry we are.
We have to show them, not tell. Actions speak louder than words.

I really wish you the best of luck.
