What I am finding is that I am able to default to not speaking to her and being neutral- not displaying any outward emotions. I'm not deliberately trying to be cold to her, it just seems to be the easiest way for me to deal with her at the present time this way.
Could you not view this simply as a step in detaching?
Agreed. It is mainly an issue simply because it is so out of character for me and our relationship. Then again, my W's EA is completely out of character for her.
BTW, checked out your thread- looks like it might have locked? Anyways was so busy replying on the snooping question that I forgot your W was out of the house- ouch. That certainly makes things much more difficult trying to ascertain if there is currently OM. However it stands to reason that if there was/is a OM she would have been in contact with him before she moved out. So the suggestions I made in my prior post might still be worth pursuing if your looking to confirm this to understand what you may be up against.
