It could actually be that he is appreciating the reduction in stress. OK, it's true. I'm a glass half-full guy.

You can try to explain things to your D17, but I think I agree with cbih, she is probably feeding on the drama! She expects that couples that separate to fight all the time. It's not always that way, but in her mind, it should be. So she is confused. Keep showing her a strong Bunny, and she'll be ok!
