Thanks Sandi,

I figured it was not good to say those things. TBH, I am having a hard time all the sudden dealing with not talking to her while living in the next room. I was fine for almost 8 months. What happened?

I wish I could put my finger on it so I can Identify my problem and solve it.

Without knowing it or making sure I know how to do it, I guess I was trying to set a boundary and I failed miserably.

I am still GALing, doing 180's,and trying my Damnedest to follow the DB principles. I have even gone back to reread DR but I suppose without much practice my validating and empathizing skills have lessened.

I know I am nowhere near totally detached but, other then talking with her, nothing W does or could do really bothers me at this point.

It just bothers me that my W says( I know she is a WAW but) people have asked her if I beg and pleaded for her to stay, told her I wanted to work on things, That I loved her etc...

W is right I haven't really done any or those things in a year until I have backslid these last 2 weeks.

Why then if she doesn't want an answer does she ask the question?

Should I just not answer these type questions when W poses them?

I might have forgot something here but how do you turn a question and answer session into a validating and empathizing opportunity?
