We had another mini chat via text and she says she will give it three months living here. She doesn't want to move out because of the kids and money but she needs her space and will move out if it becomes too painful. It's pretty close to what she said to me back in January prior to things becoming good again. Of course, I'm not expecting the good part this time. She's tried that and it didn't work so I don't expect her to try again. I asked her that we get along. I told her I felt I couldn't talk to her when she was hostile. I didn't receive a reply.

I'm about a third of the way through Way of the Superior Man. It hasn't resonated with me until the last few pages. The main thing I've picked up from it is that I should be considering other people's feelings and opinions and making my own decisions as well as having the confidence to tell my wife how I feel and not tolerating anytime she shows poor behaviour towards me. This will take some work on my part. See how we go.
