Hello, WAW. Is anyone there?

Wow, sandi. That's a lot to digest.

I watch the show. I don't know if you're comparing me to Sheldon (the Asperger's Syndrome type) or Leonard (the short one), but I really don't want to be that guy.

I know it is a problem of respect and that I've done little but erode that respect since she's dropped the bomb. I cater to her every whim.

You say moving out was a mistake. Or that it was a bad choice. I did it to get her to hold off on the divorce, and I did it with an agreement that we both signed that basically says I agree to stay out of the house as long as the divorce is on hold and that I am not giving up any rights to the house or the kids in doing so.

So how is moving back in a mistake? Yes, it is selfish. I want to take care of myself. She doesn't want the house. She wants to move out, which is fine with me.

I feel at peace when I think I am going to come back here and start living for me. I feel like I have a decent chance of being someone she can respect, even if she hates me for a while.

I need to sleep on this. I don't mean to be a difficult person. My wife said I was like a brick wall and she got tired of banging her head against me.
