I realize that I can't take anything he says at face value but I feel like we are moving in a positive direction...
He quickly responded with:
I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant. I was referring to what happened last week. I had good intention, but to your point it’s time to move on.
You definitely seem to have the house under control and I am letting go.
If you ever need help with anything, even if it’s just explaining how something works in the house etc. please just ask. I will always be willing to help you.
Otherwise I won’t push again, and really did not mean any harm. That’s what I tried to explain in the last email
I will consider that a small victory! It can change, granted, but I will take it for today. And I have written proof that he feels I am maintaining the marital home appropriately.
