Thanks Roiste! I think you are right that I cannot solve this for her, she needs to come to a conclusion on her own. maybe she already has and she is just conflicted with the her answer.
Just got text from Wife saying thank you for listening this morning and sorry for the timing...was late for work because we were involved in convo.
I replied that the timing was fine, didn't mind that at all. Also said that I was glad she was able to speak her mind. that what she said was important to me and that I was sorry that I was not as receptive to her in the past as she had needed.
