So, it's been six months since I left, living in my boyhood bedroom, but things are looking up as I have already gotten a job offer and will return to Sydney to recreate my life.

The main thing now is how do I behave towards my wife to maximise the chances of her returning to me? This is my goal. Advice would be welcomed.

I should add, there was no physical violence, cheating or abuse, just her demands and my stubbornness in giving her what she wanted, that is, a selfless life where I live some communist dream of giving myself for others rather than for my family.
