Why does dinner always have to be "romantic?" This is just beyond bizarre. She thinks everything is fine because she went to therapy once. No way. Don't give in. Even trying to get rid of your son for the evening is ridiculous. Don't pretend everything is fine it is so not.
This morning was both weird and productive. Productive in that, now that my wife is going to counseling( for now), the counselor feels that now my wife is on board, we can start to progress. Weird in that she woke up early to get her makeup on and do her hair ( she never did it for the previous sessions). Weird in that she made breakfast for my son and I. Finally, weird in that she wants to have " family time", not that I'm against it, but it's weird coming from her. I had to have a very hard discussion with my son, I told him " Look, I really want to believe, like you, that Mom has changed, I'm really tempted to bet all my chips and go all in, but she might be just telling us what we want to hear and I don't think we should completely close the book on an apartment". Thankfully, he understood, having seen her do things like this in the past.
Why are you even telling your son this. You should only talk with your son about the problems between you two and never discuss the problems with him about you and your wife.

I know it's not fine. Her version of " romantic" really means " kidless", no candles or anything like that. I don't think I gave in. Had I agreed to go to an expensive place than that, in my book, would be giving in, I think I compromised.

With only 1 kid who is 18 years old, you should have plenty of alone time without having to bribe him to leave. I'm glad you didn't take her up on the diner out, though.
The main point of my talk was about moving out, a process that involves him.
No it's not. If it were it would have only been about you and your son and not what should be private between you and your wife.
