I've followed this thread for a long time, and my opinion is that the wife is rather quiet and withdrawing. She may fail to say thank you or good-bye, but other than that, I think OIN and his wife have a pretty civil relationship.
Thank you for following along. For the most part I agree with your comments. She has withdrawn drastically but we do still maintain a pretty civil relationship. There are time where I allow her to push my buttons and I would get defensive and cause her to lash back resulting in a backslide. Then there are the times where I noticed a positive and jumped all over it causing her to pull away and make remarks about separation and divorce ect..
