Ok, here is an interesting observation. A couple of months ago, this would have sent me into a tailspin. It stung a bit, but I was really more curious about the psychology of it.
W was in the room she stays in now with the door open talking to my D before bed. I was walking to the door and said something to my D. My W had taken off the slacks she had on for work, but still had on a sweater top. She was either in pantyhose or underwear. She never saw me, just heard me. She jumped behind the bed and squatted down in one motion so I wouldn't see her half dressed as if I was a complete stranger. I guess that speaks volumes since actions speak louder than words. I guess as a lot of folks say here, "she doesn't see you as her husband anymore" that instinctual reaction proves it.
It was kind of comical and childish seeing her only from the waist up hiding like that. I didn't let on I saw anything and said I was just letting D know I was going downstairs. I guess I have a lot more work than I thought I did rebuilding a connection.
