I mostly need to become more financially stable. I do a lot of contract work and sometimes things dry up. I am over educated and underemployed. Right now I am doing fine but I have no job security. I am trying to start my own business. If that works out then I will be much better off.

From time to time my wife will initiate the communication. For example she sent me a text from Vegas (there for work) about a month ago saying "In Vegas. memories. Feels weird being here alone." She has done more since. Mostly just a thinking of me type of text. She has also initiated wanting to meet up and work out at the gym about 6 time. I Agreed 3 of those times. She wants to keep me around at arms length.
