So after a month and a half of very little contact with my wife, I took her out to eat tonight. She was quite chatty and seemed to be happy which has been a big change since Thanksgiving. To anybody else we would have seemed like a happily married couple. After we ate I walked her out to her car and she brought up that at some point we were going to have to talk about our sitch. I told now was as good a time as any.
She told me that she cant stay at her friend's house forever and will have to move out at some point. I asked her if she had thought about moving back home because I cant afford to stay in our house for the long term by myself. She said it probably wouldnt be a good idea and if she did she would sleep in the other bedroom. She made it pretty clear that she still has no feelings for me and didnt want it to appear to me or the kids that we were making an attempt at reconciliation. She said she enjoyed being on her own and doing what she wants, coming and going when she pleases and she sees that as a problem as for me.
I told her that if she moved back in that I wouldnt push her to reconcile and would give her as much space as she needed but that being at home would be better than the sitch we are in now. I told her to think about it because we still have plenty of time before anything really has to be done.
There was so much positive that I can pull from tonight but I keep thinking of the negative. I think we both had a good time as far as the dinner went but I am kinda bummed out right now because she still has no feelings for me. Did I do the right thing tonight? What should I do for now? Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
