Well my wife just left here. Her and her brother came over to shower. Me and my wife are getting to where we can be in the same room now without it just being really awkward. I doubt I will be talking to her anymore today. She said she was going to one of her friends house that lives near her job to stay the night when she gets back to her brothers. I simply told her to have a good time. She was pretty playful today as opposed to just a joke here and there. I am getting pretty good at being happy in her presence even if I'm not really. Finally got a small positive reaction from my wife today. Nothing big or anything to get too excited about. Which is usually when she leaves she just gives me a hug and a really quick kiss before she hurries out the door. Today though she wrapped her arms around me and looked me in the eyes for a few seconds before she kissed me. Nothing big and probably shouldn't be looking too much for any positive signs but I couldn't help but take note of it or maybe I'm just trying to find positive signs in her.
Since my wife isn't going to be at her brother's tonight he's supposed to call me later to come over. He's going to his daughter's birthday party in a little while. She is turning 13 today.
Her brother was saying he still has no idea what she's up to. He said that while it's not good for the marriage he's actually hoping we don't work things out just yet because he needs help with his bills. Which he apologized for being insensitive about it. He explained he is just looking at it from a bill perspective. I told him I understood. Which it did make me a little frustrated. I did though tell him again that while I appreciate his keeping me informed that I'm trying to move forward with my life and work on me. I didn't want to tell him that there's a plan at work here to try to get my wife back because I'm not real sure how much of what I say gets repeated.
I have though been reading another book as well trying to figure out other things I have done wrong. It's a book designed just for married couples still living together and building the foundation of marriage up a little more. Doesn't really deal with your marriage in a crisis situation. I have though seen a number of other things I have done wrong. I don't feel a need to mention them to my wife though at this point in time. I will though IF the day comes that she wants to work on our marriage. They are actually changes though that I do sincerely want to make as I do feel they would strengthen a marriage.
