Ian, you have got to be kidding me! And here I thought I was the only insane one...
I don't really 'date' my H. He comes over we talk about stuff---the house, the finances...I usually am busy doing something...washing, feeding the dogs...I don't cook for him anymore since the time he asked me if I had poisoned his food. I figured: F*CK YOU. Not gonna cook for you anymore, you piece of shite. So I don't. Anyway, I am not sure he wants that...he starts to freak out if I start acting like a wife to him...so I treat him pretty casually...
Is there a connection? Sure, a physical one...but that is really it. I mean, he NEVER brings up R talk and if I mention the obvious...he either 1. Ignores it or 2. Has to leave/hang up/quits texting.
I have to admit that your story of them getting back together after 8 years is mind-boggling! I cannot even imagine doing this for 8 years...but who knows...I really have no desire to do anything except work on me...make my life what I want it to be...I do not have children so that connection does not exist...however I DO have bubbies and they are like my kids and we are both very attached to them...
Your story really is inspirational...makes me believe that I am not crazy...and who knows what the future holds!
