Sue,

It has been awhile since I have posted and I could use some more of your great advice. I think you know my history wife had an EA with stay at home dad across the street. Still has contact with him but they are just friends now and I should not worry about their relationship. Both of us are in counseling right now.

My wife has been acting a little better towards me and has agreed to go on a trip with myself and the kids early next month. I have been trying to back off and not bringing up us or the OM and giving her space. I have had a few backslides but all in all I have really tried to let her work through things.

So what's the problem you ask? Well it is that I get treated like her brother and not her husband. There is no intimicay between us at all and there has not been any over the last three months. Even before then it had become almost nil and I don't see the log jam breaking anytime soon.

So my question to you is if we are not really talking about us. How do you go from a platonic relationship to one where you are husband and wife again? Can this happen if she is still talking to OM all the time? I remember you saying that it took over a year for you to come back to your husband? What do you think?
