This weekend was not what I expected. It was not the usual silent treatment.
Friday was a uneventful. My wife worked late and got home about 8pm. She usually gets a bite to eat and then goes in her room. She said hi and told me about her car problem. It was only about the car but she seemed not as down/angry. Boy did she look good.
Saturday I called to see if I could get her car fixed and they said they would need to see it during the week. I told my wife later and she said thank you for trying. That afternoon and early evening she was relaxed and pleasant. She even said a few things to me.
Here's where it gets weird, not with her but me. She would say things to me, not questions, and I would not respond. I answered questions and kept the conversation going but was not as much as I used to. I kept thinking "don't get your hopes up, she hasn't changed her mind". That kept me quiet and something else. I don't see my wife the same way any more. How she has treated me these last 4-8 weeks has changed me. I used to think the things she said were brilliant, now not so much.
Sunday was more of the same. She was not so silent and I was not so talkative. She mentioned teasing her sister and I said without thinking that teasing wasn't nice. A few seconds later she said I can do what ever I want. I did not respond to that.This was the second time she has said this to me. The last time was 3-4 months ago. I guess she feels I some how stopped her from doing what she wanted to do all these years.
Does any of this mean anything? I want to apologize for stopping her from doing what she has wanted to do but it seems like pursuing, is it? Why is she talking and acting nicer? Why do I not feel compelled to talk? I rarely look at her now, I feel uncomfortable when I do, why? If she is warming, which I doubt, me acting cautious will not ruin anything, will it?
