Why are they like teenagers when in MLC?

[TomLost Love]

Officially seperated over a month - she dropped "I don't love you" bomb on me Sept/Oct. I moved out into an apartment when the seperation was signed in Feb. She put up a wall between us so the communications became a slow trickle, but even if just a text message, we communicate at least once a day about bills, money, kids, etc. I have backed off as much as I can and severely limit initiating contact - I have let her determine when she wants to communicate (part of my 180). We are cordial with each other - but I wouldn't say we talk like friends. Its hard to describe - friends to me would be a relationship where you are comfortable talking and comfortable in each others company. Right now its awkward as all hell - but I am trying real hard to get to a better place in that regard. Its me - I know - Wife will always say she is on page 34 and and I am on page 2 with all of this, so of course its harder for me to adjust.
