I am curious as to how long you had negative feelings about your marriage before you decided it was over and you wanted to walk. Then, what was the catalyst that caused you to reconsider?
According to my wife, the 180's I have made (taking over things that she used to do especially with the kids, keeping the home clean and running, re-arranging the pantry, etc.) have communicated to her that I am trying to push her out of the picture. I don't know if that is her fear, or if she is saying that to try to get me to get defensive and back down or what. She is a very headstrong individual and I often feel we are engaged in a power struggle in our home.
