Thats the tough part for me. She's obviously missing something from this marriage. I' not sure I can find out what that is by detaching.
I mentioned it above, but the few times W and I have had glimpses of passion and intimacy is after we have a major R talk. There has to be something to be said about that. I'm not sure if W has picked up on that trend.
I agree that keeping the status quo and acting that all is well is not a good idea. I do need to try something different. But I'm not sure I'm going to regain any intimacy or passion by detaching.
Me becoming the WAS may be a motivator for her to look inward, but I'm not there yet. Sometimes I wish I was.
