My W was very happy when she moved out...almost euphoric...most of that has faded she moved out in the end of August...she now is in the day to day drudgery of life...when she has the girls she is realizing that that time is much more intense in many ways...I think she thought it would be a time for her to bond more it hasn't. My daughters hate going over there be patient and the best you can be. He has an idealistic view of how this is going to be it is not always the case. My W was emotionally devoid as well for years...made the girls bond more with me and less with her..
