After 3 weeks of constant contact

[Lonely Room]

Hi there,

Things got a bit down in the last few days, since my wife returned from holiday. And I'm down with it also... I let myself gain some hope with what she told me, and I'm suffering from it now.

Since the day she returned she is more absent. The stopped contacting me as often as she was, and she's also colder in her contacts. I left a couple of days pass, always being receptive and gentle with her, and asked her if I did anything wrong or if she was mad with me. She said no, that I didn't do anything wrong and she wasn't mad with me.

Later she asked if she was a deception and frustrating. I asked why she asked that, and she said that she doesn't know what she wants from the future and seems to take very long times to take steps. I said that it's probably the way things have to be and that I was still here.

I really don't know what to think. I can't explain her change and I'm afraid of letting myself get even more hurt as I am now, because I let hope grow in my heart in the last couple of weeks...

Do any of you have any words that might help my situation? How can I protect myself without closing doors to my wife? Thank you very much.
