In a way I envy people like you and Lanzo, you guys have physical contacts with your W , sleeping in the same bed and spending time together. Etc.
The bedroom thing is temporary - I'm moving into my own place at the start of next month. Originally she didn't want us sleeping together, but she either changed her mind, or didn't want to deal with the hassle of setting up a separate bed. Honestly, sleeping with W isn't as ground breaking as I thought it would be - Sure, it's nice to have someone next to you when you go to sleep and wake up. When you've slept on your own for three months, you think it's going to be this life changing experience, but it isn't.
Regular contact is nice, but it drives you nuts. One day she's up, next she's down. I swear she even goes side to side at times. It does help a lot with 'testing the waters', since I know I can push a little more on a good day, but it's a crap chute as to what mood W is going to be in from day to day. I have learned that my W's mood has pretty much nothing to do with what I do, so at least that is something.
