Today was unexpected. My wife asked me this morning if I hated her. I told her that I could never hate her. For the rest of the day, she did not avoid me or ignore me, but sought me out to ask me things she could easily find out somewhere else; she shared gossip; she talked about things happening at work; she took care of things for me that she did not have to; and she asked when she could help me with something else later this week. If the past year had never happened, I would have said it was a normal day. It reminded me of the wife I know (knew?) and love. Of course, I know this is also script, but it is the first time she has been hot after months of being cold and distant. I kept things light and friendly, but I am so confused. I understand I cannot buy into this as a positive change, but it makes me miss my wife and marriage all-the-more.
