I just got out of the therapy appointment. A few points...
W says she still feels like I'm critical of everything she does. She constantly fears I'm going to disapprove what she does, says, or thinks. I can see this. I am overly controlling.
She said she isn't rushing to call a lawyer and file for divorce, but she isn't happy being back in this same place again. She is strongly considering a separation.
She said in a perfect world she'd want us to live next door to each other to raise the kids, but then do/date whoever we wanted. (Wow... I can't imagine.)
I expressed how I've been disconnected from the relationship due to all of the work from when we were trying to sell our house.
She mentioned how I've been very vague in my doings and when I leave the house. The therapist called it... she said perhaps I'm playing games to make her jealous or concerned. That's a byproduct of GAL that I was shocked how quickly the therapist picked up on it.
The therapist advised us to stop avoiding each other and continue to talk.
Off to enjoy some time with the kids!
