thanks everyone for your responses. They've been great at helping me understand my W.
Okay I have another question. Over the weekend, my grandmother (who is 99) fell and broke her hip. I was at the hospital all weekend and worried sick. The docs said she was going to be fine after her surgery which happened on Saturday.
While I was at the hospital, my W and the kids stayed over at her sister's place where she had first moved to when we separated. It was already a planned slumber party, so it worked out okay.
When I called her on Sunday morning to let her know how my grandmother was, she sounded very concerned, asked how she was, etc. and it was great that she cared. Then when I got home later that night, I felt that wall up again and she half-heartedly asked how my grandmother was doing. I don't know, but her face and her attitude showed the same thing as these past month and a half. Kind of indifferent, "oh, it's you" kind of attitude.
I thought at the very least because of the situation, she'd be a little more sympathetic. In fact, at no time since this happened did she actually ask how I was doing.
When you were all in the fog of the OM, were you THAT cold to your spouses? Were there times when you purposely tried to start a fight with them?
