I have this exact issue at the moment.

We are talking, but only about the children, nothing about us.

I have totally detached and let go, but feel there is hope, so I'm really confused on what to do for the best.

I usually go over board with presents, so i want to change the expected, but is giving nothing too much of a change?

Its her birthday just before, but I've got a lovely boxed bottle of vintage champagne that I'm giving her for that, but Xmas is a different issue, also do I buy her a gift from the kids?

What happens if I buy her something, but she doesn't return the gesture, will it make her look bad?, but what if it's the other way round, do I just look petty??

Very confusing!!!!
