Finally asking for help:

[Solo15]

Well, my wife called me today. We talked for two hours. She's still on her trip abroad. It went well I think. I shared a bit of what I was going through with my IC. This was a 180, because I would never usually say anything about that(had little to do with her). She seemed pleased about it. She could hear my phone getting texts, and asked me "do you have a girlfriend yet?". I can't fathom what is in her head that she thinks that I would do that. I've been completely clear that she is the person I want to live my life with. I haven't said anything like that in a while, but I definitely delivered the message a month ago. I should have escalated it by saying something like "yes, like 3 of them" in a joking way, but I just said no with a bewildered voice.

She invited me to stay overnight at the house with her and the kids the day she gets back and then spend the day with them. Dunno. I think she's trying to get a read on what we could be in the future. Might be wishful thinking. Either way, I agreed to it. At this point I figure any opportunity to connect and bring us closer is one I should take.

Thanks for reading and look forward to any reply.
