JTB, yes, it is, and of course I look at that as a positive. Our attitudes toward each other are much better than 3 months ago. But that can be a double-edged sword; I'm grateful for the improved communication, and yet discouraged that we treat each other as acquaintances.

I'm learning to be patient and not push W into talks about R's, our M, the future...sometimes I slip, but generally I'm playing by the rules.
