You feel that she is gone, that she hates you, that she treats you with utter disrespect and yet you don't want to wander into the unknown but continue doing what you are doing...which is clearly not helping?
Seems to me your walking on eggshells. If you stand up for yourself she might react badly, but is this better/acceptable?
The first time I told my X I wouldn't accept her disrespect she said all kinds of hurtful things and got really mad. But it blew over and now she has been acting a lot better. IDK if it's related, but maybe.
Together for 8,5 years. S2 Interest in OM. She left 29.09.12 b/c we couldn't work things out. No signs of OM, not digging. Living in seperate homes, sharing custody.
