Thanks.
She has always kept up with appearance, but nails, etc... have become more frequent now.

As for the schooling. It is something she has always wanted to do. She was steadfast about 2 months ago. At that time I promised to support her, move across the country and do anything for her, as she supported me through school. Coincidentally, it was a time we reconnected on a deep emotional level and reconciled....for a month. Now she says she can do it without my support, but that would be next to impossible.

I will say that going out with friends was great, but it was so lonely without the love of my life there with me. I saw all the other couples having romantic dinners and it stung......hard. then, picking up the kids and coming home to an empty house stung even more. The kids asking where mama is, wanting her to sing lullabies and tuck them in. She doesn't go out with friends very often.....this was the first time in months. So I don't know if this will become the new norm or not. Having been through this, does she feel the same loneliness coming home to an empty house?
