Well, I do think we are becoming better at communicating more effectively. For example: we have the right conversations regarding our children -- where as before, they were simply negative verbal exchanges. A lot of that has come from me, as I've approached conversations with a more solutions-oriented approach (tip from DR).
I'm not terribly detached, but I am MUCH better than I was initially. I have been extremely dependent on my wife since the beginning and just to get to this point is a milestone for me. There are two things -- acting detached and being detached. I'm still struggling on the former.
