Walk away spouse- what else can I do?

[Handler]

Except for the Monday night talk, she's been pretty consistent on being much more pleasant with me. I'm not sure about the not fighting about the D being the root of her more pleasant nature as she has told me that she knows I don't want a D.

She drove me to the airport today for my trip to visit my mom. Not a long drive at about 35 minutes but still some time out of her day. We didn't have much intimate conversation as I was filling out some forms that were needed. I offered an embrace as she let me off at the terminal and although she was hesitant, we hugged for a brief moment. Our first real touch in months. Be still my beating heart!

The trip involves a overseas flight and minutes after checking in, I was informed that my initial flight was delayed due to security issues. There was no way I was going to make my overseas connection. I called her on the cell and she came back to pick me up.

I'll try flying out again tomorrow. She has agreed to drive me again tomorrow and I'll try to engage in some meaningful conversation. I talked about giving her a calling card number to reach me and she voiced her doubts that we would have intimate conversation. I'm just not sure how to engage in intimate conversation without talking about our R or the D she seems intent upon.

It is her birthday today and we had a fun birthday dinner last night as I expected to be gone this evening. She's out with friends at an event and I'm home with our S.
