Well, pookie69, tried that on the weekend, and we did watch a movie together. Everything went fairly well, no lashing out from her the next day. I did try to setup some boundries earlier that evening about with doing household chores that involve children. I talked only about the chores and she started in on The R. I tried only to listen. She became upset that "We" were talking of the R. Then on Sunday, I was discussing the kids, and how I wanted to see them more and have them stay where I was living. She took the conversation into our R. She said she cared for me and loved me, but has had no change in the feelings of being "in love". She then said she has wanted thpse feeling to change, but they have not. Trust is a big issue with her toward me. She is not trusting of my change and does not know how much longer she can go on like this. I asked her if she were to start trusting me what would it look like? This morning I showed up to the house to get my kids and take them to the sitter. She asked me to get my D lunch ready very nicely and did not get upset with me as I cleaned up the kitchen. (This was another boundary, she assumes I want something from her, and I told her that I am a nice guy and was doing it for that reason. The truth!!) She even initiated conversation about my day. Something she has not done in a while.
I think this is a good thing and I am feeling more positive today than yesterday.
A couple things that have been helping me emotionally is regular exercise and prayer.
I have not had good luck sleeping lately.
