I agree with what you said about our spouses still loving us (in some way) even if they say they don't. I think my H still loved me in some way, but was so tired of things, and so emotionally empty (his words) that he didn't want to admit his love for fear of things going back to the way they had been before.
It's still hard for me to think that there was a time when he was telling me he had no feelings at all for me. I never thought that would happen. But, we are getting things on track now, showing love, support, etc. He says he's still not "full", but he thinks it will just take a little more time. Listen, who in the world is EVER completely fulfilled? I'd like to meet that person, lol. At one time or another, we are all lacking something. You know what I mean? I'm going to keep filling up his love tank, and hope for the best. I love the person he is now, and the person I am now. I still have some work to do, but it's a slow process.
Anyway, I'm glad things are going well for you. Any other suggestions about books? Going to the store today to search again for Love Busters.
