Thanks - yeah, giving my wife this in writing is too permanent. It is funny how you want the uncertainty to end, though, and so even a definite bad ending seems better sometimes. Talk about patience being needed, though, this whole business has been going on for 2-1/2 years now (see previous longer post for details).
We had thieves break into our garage 2 days ago, at 6 in the morning, and I rushed out in my pajamas and confronted them. Luckily we live in town and so the neighbors saw what was going on and called the police (who came too late). I think my wife saw my assertive reaction and it seems like I gained some respect for this. Unfortunately there were two of them versus my wife and myself, so they got away. At least they took nothing.
My wife's girlfriend and working colleague is coming next week. Last time she was here I cooked my posterior off, taking this off their shoulders. Will probably do the same this time, though given the non-pursuing in LRT will try to tone it down somewhat. Does that seem appropriate?
