Patched things up.

It was damn dicey and we established new “rules of the road.”

A guy can only be pushed so far. She saw she had crossed that line.

She must love me since she was the one who apologized :)

I almost missed this comment.

Very good to hear your new status and I wish you luck.

The "cheaper to keep her" rule applies here. Sounds cynical but so true. Many men have had to learn to live on much less during their much deserved retirements as a result of divorce. It's always cheaper to live as a couple.

Marriage can be made to work if both parties are able to give each other space. That's an important factor most wives don't appreciate. Men need their space! When my wife and I downsized into a condo, my main requirement was that I still have a room to myself where I can read, listen to the music I want, etc., and have my own space. If we had to share the same space all the time, we would drive each other crazy!

how did that work out? I'm having a similar issue. Though she isn't apologizing.
