I agree with Tristan - I went a month of dark, communicated twice with the kids, had W drop kids off outside instead of coming in with them. Didn't hear a peep from her.
The end of the month was my birthday, and she called me, and got diarrhea of the mouth - probably talked on and on for an hour, I think I may have said 5 words, then I interrupted because I had to eat breakfast. After that, she started calling me every day, texting, emailing, sending pictures, coming over, and so on.
Can't promise that'll be your experience - but your W is allowing hugs! Mine would've punched me (or anyone) in the eye!
