I have been trying to be up beat and taking care of the kids and getting along with my wife. Last night after another good day as a family, I noticed my wife looking at me lovingly. I pretended not to notice. Later when the kids had gone to bed, we were watching TV and again she looked at me with a smile and said " I want us to be friends" she then hugged me at length. I then said that I want to be her friend but as long as she realizes how I feel about her. She said that she rather I didn't have those feelings and that our relationship would be more platonic?

I felt terrible and wondered if it's out of guilt because of another man or if she needs me to be around in her life for the sake of the kids and a shoulder to cry on.

How should I interpret her behavior. Is this a good thing to help me win her back or am I kidding myself?

I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
