I asked this on the MLC board, but will ask here as well. My wife started MLC in July and dropped the ILYBINILWY speech shortly after, and is now having at least an EA with OM. She still lives at home. I have started applying DR techniques and have a question about not saying ILY. Occasionally she will say ILY to me, especially around the kids, and I don't know how to respond. Like this morning, it was as she was walking out the door with our D15 on their way to work/school. When she said it I stopped and hesitated, then saw my daughter taking it all in out of the corner of my eye, and said ILY2 and gave her a kiss goodbye. How *should* I handle that situation in the future? I don't think I'm imagining that she especially does it in front of the kids, probably to give them the appearance that "everything is cool with M&D". Advice please?
