Just wanted to comment since we're kind of on the same timeline. My WAW moved out on 4-6-13 and next weekend will be 6 months apart for us as well. The fact that she acknowledged your birthday is a positive. My WAW's birthday was last Sunday and I did nothing as I have been dark for almost 90 days with a few e-mails but not face2face contact. It was tough not doing anything but I think it was appropriate to not acknowledge special occasions according to DB principles.
My down days are getting fewer and fewer as well but I still hold on to hope that we can work things out. Right now it is about getting on with things right now with my life.
The whole wanting a family/not wanting one is a tough dynamic to work through. Did you reply to her acknowledgement of your birthday? May be an opening to talk if you desire to do so. Hang in there.
