Wow Very interesting. My W dropped the bomb 16 August 2014. It took me 6 months to figure out this is MLC. We tried counselling with no luck. She had been through depressions (which she never admitted) and she surfaced many personal issues. Projecting all sorts onto me. Long story short, she moved out last months. We agreed that D10 lives with her during the week and with me over weekends. She committed to the new flat and I made it clear that we cannot really afford two homes. Lots of tears and fighting later she moved.
One day about 3 weeks ago I noticed her eyes. She looked at me for the first time in almost a year. She was friendly now and then. I found it strange. She offered to share her drink with me. She smiled at me. I noticed her look at me when I am not looking. She was nice to my D. She was still intent to move out but she offered to do things for me. Another interesting observation is that she stopped cooking shortly after BD. I stepped in and I am really enjoying my new-found cooking skills. Recently she started cooking again. She was very good at baking and this also stopped around BD. On saturday she offered to bake me a cake. She also bought me a birthday present. I asked what was happeneing and she said that she is trying. This is completely different to her story 4 weeks ago when she wanted to divorce with all her might.
Is this sudden change normal? What does it mean? I know it is probably too early for her to return but I do not want to move to quickly and I do not want to push her away either.
