W is angrier after my 180's - time + consistency

[2thepoint]

I woke up this morning and decided to attend a church service, hoping that a spiritual awakening would do me some good. I am generally not a religious person although when I was a kid, I was. I attended the church that sponsors the DivorceCare program that I went to last week.

As I was getting ready, I saw my W in the kitchen and told her that I was going out for a bit. She said ok. Later after I was fully dressed, W said, you look really nice! Where are you going? I told her I was going to church. She looked a little stunned and then asked what church, (probably concerned about me running into people we know if I went to one that was in our immediate area). I told her and said I would be back in a couple of hours.

I had forgotten all of the symbolism present in a church service so it felt a little strange at first but you go with the flow and it all starts to make sense. During the service I felt my emotions starting to well up again just like when I attended the DivorceCare session at the same location. Fortunately I held it together and enjoyed the service. It is really comforting to know that there are people who will pray and comfort you in your time of dire need, (just like the fine folks on this board!).

So when I got home, W was in the kitchen and asked me how the service was and where the church was located. She seemed to be genuinely interested so I told her all about the church, the pastor, the people, etc. I said that she was welcome to join me if she was interested. She nodded in agreement, then went to her room upstairs and closed the door, (usually closes the door when she wants total privacy).

Am I starting to reach my W? Only God knows I suppose.
