OK OK I will start a thread. Was waiting to see if I landed in Separated or Surviving...
I hear the frustration in your posts. I know you are 'calm', you are not freaking out, but still you are not happy with your situation. I get that. I just see you guys needing something to 'jump start' your relationship (do you have that term in Greece? Here, when a car battery dies, you can 'jump start' it with the power from another battery and get it going again). Being friends and coparents is a nice start but it is not the end goal, not at all.
In my situation, too, I know I am 'lucky' that H and I can hang out, talk, spend time together, because some of the people on here have spouses who live with someone else, got remarried, or just 'shut off' from them. But yet it is so much and so little at the same time...
One thing my H said to me (via text, his usual form of communicating!) last week was that he doesn't know how to find the 'spark' to reignite us...sounds a little like that with you? Not that our situations are the same, just I know he feels as doubtful of making that connection as you seem to be? Difference is I am willing to light the fire where your H does not seem to know how...
