That is contact.

Don't minimize it.

Whether an excuse or a necessity, she initiated it.

I say bring her home a little souvenir or something. What will it hurt? Do you think it would be pursuing since you guys seem to do things for each other still?

way ahead of you hehe.. i got her something basic ( some salt water taffy from Alaska..) I don't think it's pursuit do you? I have not contacted her other than that and i've been here 3 days..2 days to go.. it's nice here but been raining all week

I also picked up her perfume at the duty free, she had asked for it, and I called her to see if the price was right. I think she will be surprised at the stuff i bought for my brothers baby to be..

I also got treats for our dogs and our cats, speaking of them, i noticed on facebook she removed all pics of one of the dogs and cats (well almost all).. and all pics of me (except for 1 or 2)..

Bring her home an Eskimo to take the chill off.
Sorry. That kinda rude of me.

Be careful about taking interest in other women. If things don't work with your wife, you need to take some time to BE ALONE. Looking at this stage is very dangerous.

Actually, almost all of us here in Separated are living apart. Sometimes that's what it takes for them to wake up.

This may sound cynical, but I'm kinda glad this all happened. W's aunt, who was single into her 40's, told me "let her go live the single life, it's not everything she thinks it will be". Turns out that was great advice. And maybe you'll learn to appreciate her more as well.

My guess is this: somewhere deep inside you W doesn't want the house to sell, and if she wanted to move out she would have already. She just still thinks you're BSing these changes, like you always did before. Patience.
