The "I'm ready to come home" I am confident meant that she is ready to be back in her home, not move back in with me.
What I find interesting is in the past spending 4 days in Chicago would not have been enough. She always has enjoyed traveling and now at the end of her last two work trips she mentioned being ready to come back (to her house). I never thought she would even express those feelings, especially now that we are separated.
Maybe now that she has experienced the freedom she thought she was missing when we were together, it is not as sweet as it seemed. That green grass may have been an illusion.
I read most of your threads over the weekend and I'm impressed by your handling of yourself. I don't have anything to add other than don't mind read no matter how tempting it seems. Keep your life principles at the forefront, respect yourself and respect others.
Have you read other threads here, some of the older threads have lots you can learn.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
