Is she cordial towards you only when she wants something?
I notice that mine got into a habit of always saying "thank you" at the end of our conversations which was something she did not do before the bomb. I suspect it was something she was told to do from a counselor (along with writing me some letters of regret). At first, the tone seemed forced, but now it is something she does all the time as habit when we speak.
The hardest part for you Eric (and Bradley) has to be the Dr Jeckel and Mrs Hyde roller coaster. You can make a good attempt at detaching from the lack of love and the betrayal from your wives. But when you get some hopes with Dr Jeckel being nice and then to all of a sudden be faced with the rath of Mrs Hyde, that is a tough one to let the water roll off your back because it is so unexpected.
As for conversations with her women friends, that is something I am glad I never had to hear as it was always in Thai.
