Ripken - LRT with a WW and divorce filed #3

[Ripken8]

Kramer, I tried that approach while living here. And with the try and see if it works mantra, it didn't. She began to shut down, paid no attention to me and pretty much tried to be as short and mean as she could. This also impacted her desire to want to communicate on just about anything.

She was mad, bitter and scared and told me she felt I basically didn't give a [censored] about her or anything. While I didn't and still don't reassure her of that, I noticed when I don't initiate, pursue and instead give friendly minimal reactions to her talks or stories, I get better interactions from her.

This has made it easier for me to live in the same house with her until I move out this weekend. After then, yes I plan on dropping off the face of the earth. It was just what to do as this could happen when I leave.

Based on what everyone said.
