I'm in, Wife's Out - Pt. Two

[trc2009]

The walking on eggshells seems to be getting less and less with every day that passes. We're at least getting back to a point where we can actually have small, meaningless conversations with each other. It's amazing how those are so important though. If not, it's just crickets chirping and that just makes things uncomfortable for both of us.

But, to be the devil's advocate, there seemed to be less eggshells a few weeks ago BEFORE we started living under the same roof. And then we moved back under the same roof a week and a half ago and things went back to eggshells.

So things are still very fragile for sure. There is still an unspoken "no touching" rule. Given some of her concerns, she'll have to be the one to initiate that. Still in separate beds and probably will be for a while. Again, something she'll have to initiate. She doesn't want to sleep in the bedroom and hasn't in months.

So basically, we're roommates. The idea of that would have sickened me a year ago. Now, I understand the importance of simply just living together. Obviously it can't stay this way forever if we want to have a functional marriage but it's better than us living apart. Especially since we do get along while living under the same roof. It would probably be a bad thing if we were down each others throats.
