Thanks for the response Dm45. I'm not a Triage patient, so I don't get to much action/response right now.

My problem is that my situation has remained pretty much the same for quite a while. It is the new normal and that normal is a swamp - slow moving.

Everything is so cordial and polite with my wife. Very sterile.
My brother and I just stopped over at the house to drop off the car I borrowed while mine was in the shop. She was friendly and straight to business. She did, however, make a very conscious effort to walk past me and hug my brother, while going out of her way to avoid any physical contact with me. So much so that as I was standing in the door of the kitchen, and she needed to get past, she literally hugged the other side of the door as she passed. Almost as though she is afraid of me.

Still hard for me to believe we are at this place of treating each other like this.
