I really don't know what to make of this. It's been 2 weeks since I started implementing the DB techniques. With the exception of a couple small setbacks, they've worked well. W and I are getting along. Talking (not about R), joking. Many times she seems happy, but not always. She sends me texts throughout the day. I reply, but don't initiate. She concerned about my health and recent weight loss. She seems genuinely concerned for me.
On the other side, she is still adamant that we will be divorcing, although she has taken NO action towards that except to work more and shore up our financial situation. A month ago, we were a very affectionate couple. Kiss good night, kiss good morning, lots of ILYs during the day, emails/texts ending in ILY. All of that has stopped and is now just "have a good day, see you later". No hugs or kisses at all. I'm not initiating any of that either (as much as I want to).
I just can't seem to reconcile her concern and demeanor around me and these changes. They seem so contradictory. She did tell me over the weekend how "sad and angry" she is about what this will do to the kids and how it's "so unfair to them that we got here". I just agreed.
Can anyone help me understand the steps that she is/will go/be going through so that I can understand the progression and whether is's progress of not?
