My wife appears to be exploring her own mind and heart and including me in her thoughts without committing to anything or getting my hopes up. I don't blame her as I've put her through a lot. The funny part is, I feel good about myself regardless of what my wife is thinking and I'm enjoying my wife's company without the pressure of a relationship. Of course, I still want my wife as my wife long term. I just feel that I'm getting a picture of what a new, improved relationship with two independent people looks like. Still no intimacy but far more communication and teamwork.
