We had bought our house in August 2012. My wife wants to redo the 1970’s kitchen we have. I agreed to it. Up until the ILYBIDLY speech in Dec 2012, she was planning on the kitchen remodel, she lined up a contractor and got a quote that we were going to use. In Jan 2013 she cancelled the contractor making measurements in our house. The reason is in her mind, I would stay in the house and she would move out.
This week, the burner in our oven went, and now she has rescheduled the contractor to come this weekend to measure our kitchen for the remodel. I take this as a small improvement in our relationship, but while I’m happy about this development, I keep telling myself not to be over-elated.
