Dmod - I get it and yes I need to continue to listen more and talk less - that hard part is not knowing when a response is wanted or not! And thanks I need that bump to the head now and again to remind me of the "right" things to do or not do!

Jstar- thanks a lot for jumping on-board here with me! The not being served could be a sign - possibly. It may be W is wanting to get through the Holidays (and anniversary next month -jeeze) with a minimum of stress, or she's waiting to time the service with an upcoming work position she wants that will start next summer - so the six month clock would start and end when she would start working f/t. And naturally it could be she's still trying to figure all this out - regardless I don't and can't dwell on it, just approach each and every day with a "glad to be here" attitude!

We do still live in the same house, but different rooms at this point - and I do see that as a good thing, but the mental stress is like parting the Red Sea, I actually surprise myself how well I can cope with it without wiggin out! Just continue to be be the bigger person and do what I think is the right thing between us, the lovingly detached concept really helps - when I think what I would want my friends to do and act around me, that's what I put forth. It's really pretty easy as the new me - and I like it too!

Thanks all!
