My Wife Walked Out

[RSG]

Sandi, I'm glad I'm seeing her attempts to create an argument out of nothing correctly. I know I can't fall for the bait. I'm validating her feelings pretty well, but will work on looking her in the eyes. I know that shows a bit more confidence. I was able to do that the last time we spoke.

Yeah, I realize it's going to take a while for her to figure out why she's unhappy. Being away from our son has definitely hurt her, and with the way he's been hanging on me lately she might hurt even more if he talks about me when she's keeping him. From DR, I read one of the general rules was that for every year of marriage it'd take a month of healing. That makes about 4 for us, which would mean it'd be around our son's birthday if everything went well.

Yes, it's an actual preschool she works at and not a daycare. It's actually one of the best in Atlanta. She has lots of certifications, you've nailed it on the head. She's a qualified teacher and is reduced, largely, to cleaning poopy diapers and soothing screaming 2yr olds. I believe she is going to be with older kids next school year, which made her happy. I've encouraged her about her job many times. Not more than 3 weeks ago, she sat on the stairs crying about her job and I came, put my arms around her, and told her how great she was doing and would continue to do. She kissed me and said thank you.

Another thing that will make her happy is when we find our son a preschool. After we've got him signed up, I'm expecting she'll want to talk as she's mentioned we have to "take care of him before we talk about us." That could be in around a month.
