Quoting jethro: I couldn't agree with you more, Robin, about distancing myself from my W. Thing is, this gets easier and easier...and sometimes, I don't necessarily think it's healthy for either one of us.
But what's the alternative? If she feels you are in her face when she wants some distance, she will see it as you pressuring her. I remember a quote my dad cited during his speech at our wedding (can't remember who he was quoting): "Let there be spaces in your togetherness". I think as long as you come back together regularly, occasional space is not a bad thing. H and I had only space for a long time. Think that's where we went wrong.
