Mrs. T is naturally completely consumed by her mom's worstening situation. Mrs. T formally requested that we postpone all discussions about D, separation, etc. She is clear that this is not a committment from her to the M, but she "just can't take any more loss in her life right now. I'm losing my mom, and I can't think about losing my home as well" (yes, she said "home", not my "marriage") She did not put a timeframe on it, but she needs to "not have to think about the R" right now. She is seeing my recent attempts to detach and distance myself (no physical contact, separate bedrooms,etc) as being proof that I am not and never will be an affectionate person. She is seeing it as me abandoning her in her time of need. She blames S7's growing inability to express his emotions and show affection on his "being just like you (me)". IMO this is the pot calling the kettle black, as she is the one who demands, but does not give affection, and who can not verbally express her own emotions
I agree with Kalni. Lot's of opportunity here. What's your goal?
