MrB,
It sounds like you have been "pushing" your W and she seems to be responding in that you are seeing more of your old wive emerging. At some point in the recent past did she agree to work on the M? Is she open to your feedback to her? I am trying to remember your thread but if I am not mistaken did she not come back once and then you asked her to leave again.

See before, my W would apologize for anything, even if I accidentally bumped her in the hall. Now there's nothing. As odd as it sounds, I actually have to tell her when she's doing something inappropriate as she says she doesn't realize she's doing it. So after I tell her, she now thanks me for it and actually remembers to do it now.

I know you have been at this a long time and it sounds like you have come a long way, but IMO this sounds like you are trying to control her.

Just wondering how she is "feeling" when you tell her she is doing something inappropriate. As much as I can, before I say anything to my W, I say to myself, "How is she going to feel after I say this?"

How long will she put up with that or how long before she says to herself "I don't want to go back to that".

There is a reason she is still not living back at home right? or does she want to come back and you have told her "no"?
