my wife left, but still lives with me

[tough spot]

She called me at work today but i missed the call. So I texted her back to see if i needed to step out of my meeting to call her or whether she could text back her statement or question. She responded that 'she forgot I was out of the city at a meeting. Nothing. Sorry'.

I was so sure she was going to tell me she filed for divorce. Worried about it on and off all day. About half way home during the hour drive I remembered the story Michelle tells about her coming home from a convention and meeting her husband.

About how what she thought was going to happen when she got off the plane would actually then effect what happened when they met. So i calmed down and decided to do something different. Right or wrong who knows.

I quit touching my wife (non sexual ways) about two weeks ago as I thought that was space intrusive/pushy/acting like nothing was wrong. So when i got home this time, i just walked over and gave her a hug and said it was good to see her. She acted like that was slightly weird, but at least she didn't deck me!
