Sounds like you guys are moving to a different place and I get the sense there is some tension lifted?
Amen. I think we're getting there. You will, too.

So she never *ever* brings anything up, not about plans for a split, filing, nothing? Ever?

Well, that voice sounds wise, and not contrary to DBing. Do you see a conflict?

Choosing not to respond to provocation doesn't just happen. Maybe instead of thinking, "I'm not going to respond to that because not responding will help my R," you're thinking, "I'm not going to respond to that because there's no point," but the action is the same. The intention may lend the action a subtle flavor; I don't know.

That sounds like a good reason. Do you think focusing on work will get you to a better place than enjoying working on the house would?
