TSquared, that is great that your wife is opening up to you, and feels more comfortable about everything. It's those small little things, and small steps, that really make a difference!

Also, from your post earlier, it is good that you feel you no longer 'need' her. I think we get to that place where we depend and rely on our partner to much, physically as well as emotionally. You have done a lot of self discovery and it's great that you are feeling more independant now.

PS. I was remembering your discussion about quantum physics and for some reason it made me think of this quote from Big Bang Theory:

[Missy is leaving and Sheldon is saying goodbye to her.]

Missy: I want you to know I'm very proud of you.
Sheldon: Really?
Missy: Yep. I'm always bragging to my friends about my brother, the Rocket Scientist.
[Sheldon looks in disbelief.]
Sheldon: You tell people I'm a Rocket Scientist?!
Missy: Well yeah.
Sheldon: I'm a theoretical physicist.
Missy: What's the difference?
Sheldon: What's the difference?!
Missy: Goodbye, Shelly.
Sheldon: My God! Why don't you just tell them I'm a toll taker at the Golden Gate Bridge! Rocket Scientist, how humiliating!
