Take thx for your response and your explanation about ignoring and disinterested. I do exactly that now. Disinterested. If she is moody, one word, practical silent treatment wife I just get busy. Sometimes I goto Home Depot and walk around just to get out of the house. I stopped doing that because I found myself buying tools lol

Tonight was an interesting night. My W was very talkative to me. First time in a long time. She spoke to me about my D's preschool. She even told me she had pictures on her phone from field trip today and asked me if I wanted to see them. (almost fainted). She stayed in living room and had small talk with me and watched hockey with me. Lastly she went upstairs without saying a word after all that lol. Guess her letting me know she was done. What a break from the cold ice wife.

Yes I'm working on giving up control. I've learned alot about that through reading and ACOA. Tomorrow I plan on attending Alanon at my local church and hopefully meet some peeps and learn about my codependency issues.

So basically I stay busy and upbeat when I'm home. I don't initiate conversation with her. If she does with me I chat back but try to end it first. Tonight she sat outside and ate with me and talked to me but I got up and said I had to play with the kids. (after 10 minutes of talk)

It amazes me that I still wanted to go across the room tonight and jump my W's bones even after she treats me like a bag of sh * t lol

Either way pretty decent day for me..

Thanks for the support.

KD. I'm reviewing what your wrote again. Thanks buddy
