I get stuck in this constant loop of worrying about things, hoping for signs of change, wishing she'd reach out to me and just shoot a text saying hi or something. This process has been going on for about 2 months, and this is the first time we have had NO contact whatsoever.

I keep telling myself time is my ally, and hoping she will begin to crack. It doesn't seem like it though.




My wife wants no contact whatsoever also. She doesn't even want us to see each other while handing off our kids to each other. I think the best things we can do are to honor and cherish them by giving the the space and time that they need. Hopefully, they will then be able to process the TONS of emotions that they need to deal with...and start to heal. They can't do this with us contacting them frequently. We have to leave them alone, and let them initiate any contact. Hopefully, time will be an ally to us. It's less about effort on our part, and more about discipline on our part. That's the way I'm trying to look at it. I know you're hurting...me too! It's about not doing what doesn't work...and I've done plenty that doesn't work!
