Ugh. Separated, living together. Done a full 180 - showing her a side she hasn't seen in years. She has noticed a bit, but not much. Tonight she's sitting on our bed texting this ahole while our kids are in the bed, one of them sick and I am right there. Total disrepect.
What's the appropriate response? Do I call her out? Will she run farther if I ignore it or respect me more standing up for myself?
Totally attentive. When I'm in the room, I'm actually in the room. I'm engaged in conversation. Listen to her attentively and ask questions no matter how much she is complaining. Smiling more, more confident (and I am), seeing friends, going to events that I would have passed on before because of her or kids. Went solo to a wedding (something I haven't done in our whole relationship), learning a new instrument, networking, no complaints, staying positive when she gets crazy.
