Patience and Limbo (Core thread 3)

[Jac12]

If she asks you to help out with her car you can make that decision...but do it with no expectations of anything.

I don't think you need to have a talk with her. She's asked for the space so just show her by your actions that you're listening to her. If she asks down the road why you seem to be distant you can tell her you were just giving her the space that she asked for. And then listen...and validate when appropriate.

From my personal experience...the less talking the better. We've been separated now for just about a year and it's only been in the last couple months that things have significantly improved and it looks like there is a path back to a better Marriage. BUT...she's still not moving back in as she still has lots of work to do on herself.

Be patient...be the lighthouse and let her see the changes you are making, especially from the control standpoint.
