Regarding 180s and detachment, it is really difficult to act differently around someone when they are not around. For the past 3 years, I have basically been living like a single mom (but not dating!).
I can SOOO relate to this. H and I, both traveled for work, and I did feel like a single Mom at some point, when it was just him traveling. A few years before the BD we did have a pretty much long distance marriage. It was important to me to spend time together, but he started to pull away at some point and became more distant.

I’ve been asking myself the same questions. Still have no answers though.
And this I complete agree with:
