Since today was my birthday decided what the heck and broke more of the 37 rules. Asked her why we can be close during the day and that when she comes home she barely says two words. Told me that she has to pull back so that I do not think things are better. In my head I am thinking, that is the last thing I am thinking. I know that there is a lot of work and we have just scratched the surface.
She liked my changes and believe that they are all temporary. Told her that's I could not change how she feels but I believe my R with the kids has become better.
I snooped and discovered that she was looking at places with occupancy by 5/1. Then texted her and asked her when she was leaving. She stated that she had been looking and that she still feels the way she does.
I then said that why should the kids have to move, if she is miserable then she should move out.
After W came home from work we had dinner and cake, I bought a birthday cake, her face has been buried in a book since then.
