Hi Paul,

Just got your message now, I am on a new thread now as this one is almost finished. When we separated my H did the same thing. He was never much of a talker anyway so it didn't really feel much different for me.

We communicated mostly through brief text messages or brief phone calls, mostly about arranging to pick up the kids. I tried to keep up my PMA when he was around and just keep things light.

It was more me that limited our interactions. I felt the need to be far from him to give myself closure I guess. I seemed to be the one to act that way, to limit our interactions. I didn't want him coming around the house without calling first. I also felt uneasy about everything and I didn't want to see him.

He wasn't telling people that he was done. He was mostly keeping quiet about it all. I urged him to tell people because it felt strange to me that no one knew. Looking back now I wished we wouldn't have told people right away.

To me it sounds like your wife needs some space. I would just give her the space she needs for the time being. Keep up your PMA and keep focusing on yourself and your children.
