Grizz, that's what I struggle with as well. The thing is I don't know if I am pushing her and she is just not voicing her displeasure or if this is actually helping. Being in separate rooms I. The same house definitely shone a spotlight on the weirdness, though.

She always looks for me to lead in our relationship. She always has. She always waits for me to make the moves and then she either "cracks the door" or closes it and she never does that verbally. It's like a dance. I try to lead and I have to see if she is comfortable following.

Wife has been actively planning a summer vacation for us. That's good. She doesn't have to do that for us to just remain roommates. I see that as a married couple thing, but maybe I'm narrow minded on this. She could just see us going as friends.

Headed out on a trip. She didn't kiss me goodbye. I kissed her on the cheek because she wouldn't turn towards me. An obvious no go tonight. She also still will only call me by my name. No pet names.

Things still obviously are not anywhere near normal at our house.
