TM, Well done! I'm glad you had a great time at the artfest and yes, you had the opportunity to spend time w/your little one, as well as observe your wife in different surroundings.
Bravo! I'm glad you were totally honest w/the mutual friend. I guess my question would be what business it of hers if you and your wife are being civil and just enjoying the day w/your child? Your response was right on they money.
Sounds like your wife has got some issues w/unpacking and setting up her new apt. She may very well have an ulcer and it will only get worse w/o treatment, but again, she's a big girl and she will need to decide when it's time to see a doctor.
I am glad she finally recognized what her behavior has cost the two of you over the last year. Hopefully her actions will speak loud and clear and healing can begin.
TM, you are doing well and yes, your expectations have to stay at zero because you do not know if she's begun to enter the dark depression or just having moments of clarity.
I am very glad you took a chance and everything worked out for you over the weekend.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
