Things are very very good. My wife is a different person. The cycling of depression has been going on for 6 months since bomb drop. For 6 months she was cold distant, I felt like an enemy. She wouldn’t look at me, barely talk etc. Over the last 2 weeks things have been improving, now she’s like her old self. Smiling, chatting, talking about future household things. We have also been having sex. She is also seeing the therapist regularly now and has posted stuff about picking herself up and putting back together again. The current situation is so amazing for my emotional well being. It doesnt confirm her transition / crisis is over but it does make me feel like I have plenty of time for her to heal.
I am not pushing for relationship talks. I really hope she doesn’t want the last 2-3 years of whatever she’s been going through to just blow over. We need to fully reconcile. I will want marriage counseling so that we can move forward with honest communication. I want to make sure her issues are resolved and that this will never happen again.
I can’t believe how different things are, it’s literally like she snapped out of it, in terms of the depression.
What should I do in terms of discussion of us? Will she initiate it one day? Regardless, right now is the greatest break of the cold and distant wife I’ve been living with. I am also prepared for it again because it truly feels like she recognizes it’s her and not us.
