I think what is holding us back is my wife does not feel ready yet. And she does say yet which leads me to believe she will come around someday. I told her she can keep her apartment as long as she needs it to stay with me and work on our problems. I'm afraid that having a place to go, keeps her aloof about the relationship however. I believe that if she committed to making it work, instead of just taking a wait and see attitude, we would be further along. Not my choice however. I cannot control her, nor do I want to anymore.
