Since finding this website and the DR book a week ago I have been being positive, not talking about the R and being supportive of her desire to get a part-time job and take some classes at the local college.
I am still at home, sharing the same bed.
We've been very friendly. Talking a great deal about all these new things she wants to try/do.
Every morning when I leave the house she stops her workout to come give me a hug. No kiss like I used to get, no I love you but she is initiating the hug.
A few days ago I went away on a business trip very early in the morning and tried to sneak out without waking her up. However, she got out of bed, give me a big warm hug, said that she would miss me and that she loved me. No kiss.
While on the trip when I called home to check in I got an "I miss you, love you" when we said goodbye and when I got home I got a hug and a "I'm glad you are home".
This all sounds great and I'm not complaining, but I am totally confused. It's like our relationship is exactly the same except someone carved a piece of it away (kissing, romance, physical intimacy).
Just 10 days ago I thought I was getting a divorce or at least moving out. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I know that compared to a lot of people here I have it good. I'm just completely confused. Does anyone have any insight or a similar experience?
