I absolutely need to detach, this is not getting better. Her mother talked to her yesterday and she told her nothing has changed. She once again encouraged therapy and my wife feels like she is just talking in circles. My wife told her mother that she needs to get away for a couple of days. Her mother offered to go with her. I know this won't help anything it's just so sad.
Yesterday she wished me a happy fathers day. I mistakenly laughed, (I'm just so worn out). She walked away upset. Says that she thinks I make passive aggressive remarks under my breath. I don't always but I am sure I have a few times. I apologized for this and told her that I am hear to listen if she ever wants to talk. I told her that I just want her to be ok. She told me she is fine. My wife unfortunately does not want to face her issues. She still can't have silence, still listens to podcasts whenever she is alone doing something like getting dressed, makeup, making lunches, cleaning etc. It is frustrating that she tells me she thinks she's going crazy but doesn't feel like she has anything to talk to therapist about.
The worst part of everything is I felt she was making progress, communicating more with me, starting actually conversations, looking me in the eye, joking a bit, buying me things, doing things for me etc. She even talked about the family trip this summer. To hear that absolutely nothing has changed in her mind is sad. It's sad she has no idea or care for what this is doing to me.
How does MLC end? How can you possibly recognize signs of it ending?
