Thank you Angela, RH, RL and NLT for jumping in to give me hope that W's love for me is buried right now, and that passion can return or be found. I guess I'll just have to figure out a way to stick around a while longer to see what happens.
AJM, you are correct, W is not angry at me. Just cool and distant.
THX & etc: Yes, I read 5 LL more than a year ago. Good stuff, especially if your spouse is receptive. At least for now, mine is not. You both know that in a true MLC situation it's more about them, and the issues they need to resolve for themselves. Only after they work through this will they be able to accept our love/love us.
Still, like you, I believe we can show love without any pressure. This is what I've been doing and dare I say might be part reason why she is still here. I've not been in the D process, so can't speak in that regard.
I do know RH was only a few days away from finalizing her D, and look how her M turned around!
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
