Tonight when I was reading to and spending time with my daughter, she asked me why me and Dh weren't speaking.
I told her, 'he wants to have some quiet time right now.'
But this has really brought home to me the fact that she's noticing this.
I am 100% meeting my goals of being pleasant and cordial. I ask him if he slept well, I smile, I look him in the eye. I greet him before I go and when I come back. We speak in a friendly way about the kids and practical things.
But there's nothing else.
I could make an additional effort to make conversation, but I strongly believe I shouldn't be pursuing right now.
I also think that I can't say or do anything that would cause our kids to worry or to disrespect him.
