Question: 

Hi Leslie and John, this is a follow up from last month’s question about my wife treating me like an uncaring monster. Looking back, I can see where she pulled away emotionally 2-3 years ago, when, among other things, her mother had an affair and left her dad (which her mother says she now regrets). At this point my wife says she wants to leave and she doesn't feel she loves me, but is afraid that she will wake up in a month and realize she does love me. I am looking at rental ads with her, per our psychologist's suggestion, to help her with what she says she wants. She always has an excuse not to make calls, or says she doesn't know what she can afford in regards to rentals. John has said that a woman's coldness doesn't last forever. Are there timeframes to when I may start to see some thawing? Will her negative storyline of our marriage change? In another video John mentioned that women can return to their marriage with a vengeance. Can you explain what you mean by that? I realize you can't predict what she will do, just wanting to get some more general information to give me hope to hang on a little longer. Thanks again for all you do.
