Quick update - a good night, no arguing or tension, good conversations, and just doing stuff around the house. W was affectionate. Could almost have been normality. She wants to keep the study a study and had said in text I could have 'her room'... didn't bite.
This evening she said we would be in MBR together, apart from the occasions when she is extra grumpy. I listened, didn't argue, went with it. Seems a step in the right direction, although cynical me wonders if this is just her retaining control.
That said, it didn't feel like it was a battle that needed to be fought yet. Observe, analyse, learn.
