Honestly...W has been asking me to spend time with her, I'm not expecting too much. She is extremely depressed, doesn't like any aspect of her life...work, past deeds, financial sitch, etc. Does not feel need to address past sexual abuse with IC anymore, sees it useless. Has not been doing anything outside of house unless with me.
Interesting. Sorry for not being up on your sitch but are you still in an IHS basically? Has there been any talk of recon, or is she just content with "status quo" for now?

W has begun contributing financially back to the household after about 6 or 7 months of $0 so I am good with that.
Was she squirreling away money during that time? That's interesting as well, sounds like she's planning on staying so no longer feels the need to save for her "escape".

Not sure where this is going, W has expressed love for me, shown affection, looked forward to future but to this point has not felt or shown the remorse or taken steps to address what was actually done to be able to move forward.
Well DB'ing is often about the baby steps. You don't always see big moves where the WAS breaks down and apologizes and is full of remorse. Often they come back in stages. And you are definitely seeing baby steps, so keep doing what you're doing, it's working.

I'm still on lockdown emotionally, I like the state of our home, my S is in a good place and that is my first priority. I am in a better place and know that I am an independent man and am thriving at work and have created some new relationships with some men and women outside of my homelife.
