The distance works. I have not contacted my wife much at all and in the past two weeks she has called and asked me and the boys to go out for dinner with her twice. LOL, I guess it is a double whammy for me since I have no desire to contact her. But we get a long very well.....this is just so stupid. When we are together, we laugh and joke and talk about each other's jobs and futures. If you would look at us when we are out as a family, you would have no indication that we are a broken family heading for divorce.
