Honestly, for the first few months we fought a lot. By month 5 of our separation we started to get along. We both are guarded a bit with one another, but we text almost daily now. Usually it's about the kids but sometimes it's about what is going on in life.

We were best friends for several years before we started dating. So it's hard for both of us to "detach" from that. When something good/bad happens in life we usually call the other first. Heck, when she got fired a few weeks ago she called me sobbing, I talked to her for a bit and told her I loved her. She said it back. It wasn't like "I love you. Let's get back together" more of a reminder that I do still care about her and she cares right back. Just as a couple we were not a good match in the end. We lost that spark and grew apart. It's tragic, it's sad, it does happen. Frankly, I wish I would have read DR/DB a year or two ago. It probably would have helped save my marriage.
