Appreciate the feedback. I got an e-mail reply to the one I sent about the house last night. Pretty upbeat. But I know her, I know what I heard from her last night and I know it hit a nerve in some way, good or bad.

She also threw in something about tonight being crazy because she's throwing yet another pool party. This has always been a jealous point for me because many of her guy friends do not respect our marriage, as strained as it is, like I think they should. Throw bathing suits, beer, water, and low scrupples together and it makes me nervous. My W recently (past 8 months) lost 20 lbs. I never thought she needed to but she feels a lot better about it and has started wearing bikinis as a result. So, when she mentioned this in the e-mail, I replied with "Have a great time, show off that new body". It's something I would have never said to her before and it was hard to do but I'm hoping she'll notice because it's so far out of line with what I would normally say.

Still would love to hear feedback from anyone still communicating with their S and how they handle it.
