It was tough dealing with cold W in the same house but I much prefer W and kids around me than they are gone so far away and I barely can talk to them. I envy your situation actually.
I can see how you would envy my sitch. I don't know how I would handle not seeing my kids everyday.
My sitch has its good points and bad. I live with the W I love but am alone because she does not L me. I get to spend time with her but do not get to touch her. She gets to see how much I have change but does not let me know if she likes the changes or cares. I get to talk to her about the kids, my day, the house but not about my feelings, her feelings or what the future has in store for us, where we want to be or doing in the future.
I walk a thin line right now. I treat her like a friend/ roommate but inside I fight a battle not knowing when to move in and be close or stay back and give her space. I chose the latter because when I try getting close it usually back fires so again I let all that up to her.
