Question: At what point is it benificial to start communicating with W again?

I realized that much of my decision to go dark was because of my reaction to her continued seperation from the marriage. Right now we do not talk at all. I said Hi when she picked up the boys last night. She said she was sorry about the lack of communication. That was all. Even with a devorce, we need to be able to interact. We have the boys and all of their needs and intererests. I also have no intention of giving up the only friends and family I've known for 23 years, and that is her family. I know asking for couples counseling would seem like pursuing, so I can't ask for that. I'm at a loss how to even engage with her at all right now.
