I think that your wife is trying to find out who she is. And she cant do that with you right now.
In MLC, the spouse is the last person they reconnect with.
She was a wife for a long time and that defined her. She knew who she was as a wife and as part of a couple. Now she wants to figure out who she is as a person without the confines of that identity.
And truthfully, that is not a bad thing in a lot of ways. You guys got together at such a young age. She never really go to figure all that out before.
The hope is that she does figure it out and realize that she can still be her and be married to you.
