Wife said she was done!

[Maritimer]

Things seem to be improving here in the household and I trying to have no expectations but it is so hard not to.

She never expected me to request 50 50 custody and I believe that has her worried. It was not my intention to scare her but I do want to see the boys as much as I can and its only fair to have it split equally. She thinks what is best for the boys is to be with her and I said what is best is for them to have both of us in our lives equally. The perfect situation would for us to work on our relationship and we can both be with them 100%. She never argued this. It was brought up that I hurt her emotionally and she is having trouble letting that go.

I suggested we try to get counseling and to work on our relationship and her reaction was a quiet deep thought then went to her bedroom. After that everything was friendly as we went for a hike to a maple sugar camp for breakfast and she seemed generally happy. Easter was fun, made a turkey and I felt her spirits were up.

I know she will not be the one to make the first suggestion about slowly reconciling or go to counseling. When would be a good time to do this.? I feel now would be because of the good vibes I am receiving. I am trying not to have expectations but I do believe in hope.

It would benefit the children so much for this to work. Any suggestions on how to approach this subject? I know its against the DB program but every situations different.
