Thanks for checking in RH. No, I decided not to approach the running away subject unless she mentions it again. If I had thought of something at the time, that may have been helpful, but I don’t think any good could come from bringing it up now. She’s obviously still conflicted on whether she wants to move on or not.
Our New Years Day went as follows:
I made a nice breakfast which she thanked me for. I then proceeded to take down all the x-mas decorations, (that I also put up by myself) while my wife busied herself cleaning the master bathroom. This took her more than 2 hours as she did quite a thorough job and even sorted through the medicine cabinet, and more. Afterwards I complimented her for how great it turned out but she wasn’t accepting it. “It’s not done but I gave up” were her words.
I found a book she’s been reading called “Grace: Quotes & Passages for Heart, Mind, and Soul”. I thought this sounded positive so I checked it out online.

Later wife went into our home gym and did a workout onn her own. After about 30-40 mintes I said I was going to Sports Authority to return a shirt and she expressed desire to join me. She ended up buying three tops and a some running pants.
Later one of my TKD partners came over and him and I trained for about an hour.
Even though we both like to exercise, wife will not do it with me. She also finds it hard to act happy or allow herself to have fun with me, but can do so with others. My guess is she still “wants to be independent and discover her identity,” (her words) which she believes she can’t do while with me.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
