Wife Said She's Done - Pt. 2 ..and Still Hopeful

[OneDay]

You said your W recommended going back to counseling and then you dismissed her and said she could go on her own. She TOLD you the signs. You just didn't care.
Do something different. Start engaging a bit with her. Slowly talk to her and then slowly increase the time of the conversations. Make them light and about her. Ask her how her day was, etc. Start from there.

Your right I didnt care at the time. I thought she was the one that had issues. ha Why is it when were about to loose something/someone we finally see what will be missed? Did our eyes finally open?

MrBond, I started engaging a bit more last night and it went well. I talked about her only and validated when needed. She had a fun yet tiring day and (I think) she enjoyed sharing it with me. I told her I'm glad she had a great time and I'm sure your whopped. It was short but sweet, and I felt it was a good starting point. Also, I knew she was going to get a shower and after both the boys took theirs, we were just about out of hot water, so I offered it to her, before myself, and she gladly accepted.

One more thing! I hate ending my post with something negative, but Its been bothering me for a few days now and wanted to get some opinions.

WAW is not very happy with current living arrangements and hasn't been since I moved back. It's my pre-marital home and her attorney told her it would be best if she stayed. (I'm guess for legality purposes) I also don't think she could afford a place on her own, so maybe she feels stuck. She "appears" happy for the most part "probably for the boys" but also acts short, and a bit rude with me. She has mentioned before its like living in limbo and She doesn't feel she has any privacy in her own home. (we dont have a huge house). Her and I are mentally exhausted at the end of the day. It almost feels like we're counter DBing each other.

She told me these thing during a rant so I really didn't get a word in edge wise, I just let her rant. Do you guys think I should bring up the topic again? Not that I want her to move out, but I thought it might be a good thing to discuss with her.

Any Thoughts?
