My wife has been home for a few days now and things seem to be going good. She ended things with the OM and then met him last night to return the last of his stuff that she had. She came home late and told me that they had met and she told me she that he is only worried about him self and that I have listened more to what she has had to say in these last few months than he has. She also said that he is an “emotional infant”. She said that he left in a huff and does not expect him to contact her. My guess is he will.
She said that she is not sure if her marriage to me is over and explained a little about how she felt. Empty, alone… She feels like we are not connected. She needs some spontaneity. We will talk about this more as things progress. She called me at work yesterday because she was having a difficult time with the emotions of ending things with the OM. I listened to her and told her later that she could call me anytime at work or where ever I was to talk. She also talked about some of the positives in our relationship and our family.
I know these next few weeks will be difficult and I will need to be extremely patient and supportive. She told me not to pressure her. I will continue to give her space, help take care of the kids and pray. I hope she can find happiness for her self and then begin to work on our M. We have a long way to go.
