You are awesome, I can't tell you how much the support of this forum helps. Yes I have family and friends but they just don't get it. My parents told me last night to make sure to buy her a dozen roses for mothers day. I laughed so hard and asked if they had read anything I sent them. They said they did but how could giving her roses hurt my cause.
Her sister told me "well I haven't heard her side of the story yet" This is after she fully knows everything that she has done, said, spent etc. Her sister is desperate to have her relationship back with her sister that she's willing to accept the MLC for what it is.
My friends try to understand but then they don't. I can't explain to them what it was like looking in her eyes during those talks. Legitimately an alien stole my wife. At the beginning I literally asked her "where did you go?" Her pupils shrunk so much, you could literally watch her fall into the "tunnel" "fog". It was crazy.
It's nice to see her eyes almost normal again. I caught her looking over my way while I was snuggling and holding my daughters hand.
Part of me feels like she wants to take this summer as a last Hurrah before she decides to come back to the relationship. She took off her engagement ring but still wears wedding ring. She said lots of women don't wear the engagement ring.
Her current novel she's reading is "Fear of Flying" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_Flying_(novel)
All these books are about women finding themselves, identity, sexuality. A lot of the women divorce and leave everything, but it doesn't work out for them.
My guess is she looked up midlife transitioning women books.
