As I am still on moderation I am going to add some short detail over a few posts so its all there when I am set free! (maybe a bad choice of words ha ha)
My Goal:
To my own life back, and in turn hope my wife will fall in love with me again.
Smaller Goals:
Spend more playtime with the kids, and not to get stressed when they are troublesome or ill.
Do the things around the house that I have just assumed I did not need to do being the FT worker.
Listen to wife, although recently i have lapsed here, trying to make sure i keep this up. Before I would just listen and then sometimes not even know what we had been talking about. Now I listen to every work and make eye contact.
Go to the gym, take up more sport, go walking, go out with family and friends.
Stop checking up on wife, and asking what she is up to, and what she has been doing (although given recent events - this is the hardest)
I have more, but these are the main ones for now and the ones I think will make me feel better, and show evidence of change.
W has noticed already, but think she feels its temporary. In the past when she has asked me to do stuff I have done too much to over compensate. I have been doing this a lot recently so need to tone it down a little to make it look sincere.

I feel like I'm in thick forest, I'm slowly drawing a map of the way out, but not sure yet which side of the forest I will emerge.
