We got into the car and started driving and she laid into me. She told me that she hoped that I hadn't misunderstood when she said she was coming back with an open mind - that nothing had changed and that she had learnt that she felt no love for me and hadn't for a long time!
She then went on to say that she wasn't sure it was a good idea us living in the same house (I had told her that I was staying in the MBR). I told her she was welcome to rent a place nearby -she replied with "wouldn't you like that!"
A bunch of other stuff. Then she said that if I could get a job in her country sooner we would move sooner. I stopped her there and told her that the kids were staying the school year. That we have 4 kids and they need to take priority!
Anyway, I absorbed most of it.
Later on she kept apologizing to me for attacking me straight off the bat. She even asked if we could get a glass of wine and watch a TV show together. I said yes, but then when the kids were all down, she said she was too tired. I told her that was fine.
The kids were really happy to see her and kept asking us not to separate. I stayed out of it.
What a day. Guess I need to fasten my seat belt!
