Country Wow I just got caught up on your thread and I felt like I was reading my own. This is a bad sitch to be in but this site will help with the loneliness. I get the feeling of how hard it is to be nice to your W when she is having an A. Sometimes feels like your letting them get away with murder, but you gotta press on. Like Denver says "be the lighthouse." Being nice does feel weird but I can assure you that being a prick during your only interactions is only going to validate her feelings.
I to had wondered about how to help with missing a woman's affection without hurting my M even more. Here's what kinda works for me. My W has cut my hair for the last 5 years. She is trained and does a nice job. When we split, she would still come over and cut it for me. I pay the car insurance, so this is how we justified a free haircut. However, everytime she came over to our house, she would be in a bad mood and want to argue. She was set off bc I live in our house with all of our things and she is living in her mom's spare bedroom. This is just until our house sells. Anyways, I decided to kill to birds with one stone. I now get my hair cut at a very nice salon in town. The girls are pretty, flirtatious, and do a nice job. This helps my LRT and gives me that contact with a pretty girl. Maybe worth a shot
I'll keep up on your post. If you would like to read mine it is called "Young couple with WAW."
