Thanks KD and FY, you are OF COURSE, correct. Part of what got us here was that my wife no longer confided in me, and instead began to in a couple close friends. I am 100% that this was due to me not listening well and judging her comments/problem solving. I feel over the past couple weeks that she is finally starting to change that, I don't want it to shut off.
In fact, my dream would be she comes home tomorrow and talks about it to me at length (no naked guy pun intended) and I just listen. There is more here than meets the eye, and if she would open up, at least I would feel like we are reconnecting, which is more important than anything else right now.
