Saying "I love you"?

[mtb1981]

Still unsure on how to go handle this situation. She went from wanting to get a place in St. Louis to back on the fence. She mentioned wanting to look at a place closer to home. Used the term "we" alot (the yard is smaller, so we wouldn't have to mow as much, etc.) I asked her why she used the word we, she explained that she still didn't know what she wanted. Sometimes she thinks she wants her own place in St. Louis, sometimes she wants to find a place that is between both our jobs and for all of us to live there together, sometimes she thinks she just wants to come back home. I know that she is stressed out out the new job and does not get along very well with one of her coworkers. Last week she called me during the day and said she was thinking about quitting and just coming home. I didn't agree, disagree, or give advice. I just validated. I really wanted to encourage that train of thought though, but I bit my tongue. We are getting along better than ever and she is coming home more often. When she is here she seems to be happy and makes comments about how she misses us and spending time with us. As for now, I guess I'm going to keep doing what I have been doing. I hope that with time, her attraction to St. Louis will wear off and she will realize what she has here at home and will want to come back. Only time will tell, I guess.
