Orich,

I have the feeling that she doesn't want to initiate the Retrouvaille phone call. But if they called her, she would probably say the right things. Does Retrouvaille have her phone number? Would they initiate the phone call?

When my H and I were unhappy, we still lived together and slept in the same bed. When things got to the point where the silence was deafening, in bed at night, one of us would reach our hand out and take the other one's hand and say, "You want to be friends?" And that would end the standoff. Don't know if that would work for you; it worked for us.
