Been 2 weeks since I moved back home. It has been like a ghost town in the house... It's kinda scary. We have said about 2 sentences to each other the whole time. She comes home from work, watches T.V., I may sit down for about 10 min on the other couch and then away I go to my room. My wife never has been the one to open up a conversation, so I'm wondering if I should initiate some dialogue. Just about everything I have said or done has been misinterpreted as "fake" and an attempt to win her back. I don't want to appear that I am pursuing her at all, or have any other motives other than to be a friend who has "gotten a life". On the other hand, I don't want her to think that I no longer have interest in reconciling either. What are some good things to say that may not appear pursuing, but will get her to at least acknowledge my presence?
Thanks.
Idle fun, chit chat seems to work for me. I would just talk to her like a friend. Make a comment about something you see in the show you are watching together or something. I'm the joking type, so I just make comments, or something to be uplifting.
If it's going to be akward though, or come across as fake, then don't do it. You really need to feel like it's an ok idle chit chat in order for it to work. Don't do anything until you're ready.
