Yes, things sound like they are going better for you, but I also think that it will be a multi-month (maybe multi-year) roller coaster ride that will not end until at least a few months after you and your wife get some joint-counseling.
Keep up your GAL and reading! Make your wife feel loved in her languages of love (that, not getting sucked into fights by my wife, and GAL were the three most important lessions I learned).
>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
