Tonight we went out to eat with family. She sat next to me. I think she might have actually touched me. So there are some positives. She hasn't dropped the D word this time around. Just stated she felt she is stuck in a cycle with me. Which I know is bat sh i t crazy talk.

She asked me to volunteer at S's school. That also a positive. She talks about going to vaca house. That is a positive.

I'm still sleeping in the master room. This is mostly me not leaving bedroom this time around. stopped being a baby and stayed in there.

I'm working on getting much thicker skin, although all things considering pretty thick.

Thx for support it is always appreciated.

Not necessarily. Have you and her ever tried something completely different? Maybe going or do something exotic or a crazy activity that is so not you two? She could be bored.

smothering? Maybe try some "aloof" but "available"? (This was suggested by rH over in mlc-land as attractive).

The firing range is good... wink

How about skinny-dipping? Camping, backpacking, whitewater rafting? Some things to get the adrenaline going?

These are all great suggestions but when my W gets like this she doesn't even want to be around me. I've started to go out more

My W told me just now after I asked about continuing on disconnected that this is how she feels again and her feelings not changing

Bond do you mind giving me some examples on what you did to detach and remove yourself from the crazy train
