My wife and I have been seperated for 8 months( M 20 yrs). Our relationship has changed within the last month, we spend more time together, we go to our sons games, we go to family events and we have rekindled our SL and PT. 2 months before that she could not be in the same room with me - ILYBNILWY was her attitude. So there is progress but I want her to turn to me when she needs emotional support. If she needed me I would be there in a heartbeat. She turns to her mother and that is another issue.
It seems like when we are close, around her mother, she becomes distant again - maybe its me but I felt this before. We were very close this past weekend and she was around to see it. I would hate to think my MIL would be my love buster. The reason I say this is because there was an issue with my daughter this week and I was the last to know. This hurt because I should have been the first person she called.
Also, she could not talk to me about her day, at the end of the day, which has never been an issue these past few weeks. She would always have something to say.
Is this the eb and flow of seperation? I feel like something has changed and I do not know what it is, like I have taken a step backwards somehow.
