Midlife crisis wife

[Wolfman]

Update of what happened at mediation yesterday. We talked a lot about figuring out schedule for children. We seemed to agree on a lot of it. Trying to make it as fair as possible. Then the mediator asked about what we were going to do about the house. She said she still wasn’t sure. Either her dad was going to give her the money to buy me out or we were going to sell it. She said she needed more time to think about it. Then at the end of our hour long meeting he asked what day next week worked for us to come in again. W said next week was not good because she needed to work on her observation (she is a teacher for 16 years), the mediator said haven’t you been teaching for a while, she said yeah but she needs time to work it. She said how about in 2 weeks? I don’t want to get too excited but I feel like if she wanted out of this marriage so bad, which she has expressed in the past, wouldn’t she want to have the meeting sooner? She said she needed time to also think about what she wanted to do with the house. I hope that it’s also about our situation. Again, I don’t want to look into it too much just hoping.

Then later on I went out and picked up dinner. When I got home she was upstairs, I went upstairs and told her I was home with dinner. Kids ate while we were at mediation with their grandparents. So, she told me she would be down in a few minutes. She came down and sat right next to me and we ate together were we spoke about things at work for about a half hour. Again, I hope this is a positive sign. The only thing I am afraid of is that she is looking at this as a friendship. To the vets on here, how do I know if it’s heading in the right direction (going back to husband and wife) or she is looking at our relationship as a friendship?

Last positive thing I noticed. Normally when she goes to bed, she shuts the bedroom door. Last night was the first time she left it wide open. Again, don’t know if I’m looking to deep into these things. But the book DR says to look for the little changes. What do some of the vets think?
