"I digress. I've been dark so long that I really struggle when I see her and that isn't going to do me any good in the future. So know I'm taking her calls, returning them, emailing and trying to act like she is an old friend helping me raise the girls. I don't see this as pursuing."
DBing is about being flexible and able to switch things up when one tactic isn't working. So if going dark didn't help and, in fact, made things worse then do what you're doing. It's kind of like day trading in the stock market, you ride a stock for a short time looking for movement, if it don't move, dump it! Well, actually you only buy it when it is moving but I too digress! And you will always have some feeling for your spouse, why wouldn't you! That doesn't mean you won't move on it just makes you a decent human being. Hang in there Romeo (I refuse to call you "Stupid Romeo")
