It might be awkward, but staying in the same house is probably a good thing. Your H said something about small talk being awkward. In some ways, it is. Behind this idle chit-chat, there are these HUGE issues looming and you just want to let them out. I know that feeling all too well. But, couple of things:
1. How much of married conversation is really just idle chit-chat anyway? So, making small talk, while a little awkward at first, is pretty close to what most of us were doing anyway. Keep trying. If he seems pressured, even by weather comments , go read a book, do pilates, etc.
2. You're not going to break through with a BIG relationship talk. To bring your M together, it's going to take time and small, almost imperceptable steps. Plus, you can't do a R talk daily, it's just too emotionally exhausting. At least for me, and I know for my W.
I know what you mean, I'd love to jump my W's bones. Cold showers and exercise.
And, please. Eat well. If you can't eat well, eat. Eat some comfort food to at least get something in you.
Just curious, where did you go hiking? I'm thinking of taking my girls, and W if she wants to, around Camp David either this weekend or next.
It will get better,
