Jim1234: Thanks for the advice. You're right, I need to validate how she feels. She really likes to talk things out. I like the idea about asking for what she needs and guidance in that direci
Any suggestions for how to respond if she says she feels awkward and uncomfortable around friends/family because they don't know and she wants me to tell them? That is something she has said in the past. While I have tried to validate her feelings of discomfort, I feel that sharing this openly will only cause more problems, and close off a return to a healthier marriage.
I don't know if this is coming from a place of her guilt, a desire to close off this return path, or something else.
