So the way I figure it is, I've got 15 days to not screw up.


When my wife and I stopped sleeping in the same room, she told me she wanted me to treat her like a roommate. I haven't had many roommates, but most of my roommates where acquaintances, not friends. I didn't understand exactly what she was telling me. What she was really saying was, "Be nice, be polite, have conversation and go do something together on occasion. No hugging, kissing and that other thing (I've forgotten what that is)."

To me the "roommate" thing was unacceptable; I wanted a wife, not a roommate. But, this morning she told me that if I'd done the roommate thing for a couple of months, then I'd have had a chance. I don't know if I should believe that, but I suspect there's truth to it.

So, that leads me to my point, ask your wife what she wants from you in the time that you have left. If you're uncertain what she wants, then ask her for specifics. Once she's told you what she wants, then do exactly that and be happy and don't let your emotions control your behavior.
