Feeling lost

[srt]

Well I'm still here, trying to detach as much as I can (harder doing than saying) and generally getting on a bit better.

I am finding it hard and I'm consciously trying not to be cold when talking, the difference between not asking or delving deeper when in conversation versus being a blank wall is kinda hard for me.

Wife is still complimenting me on appearance/clothes/housekeeping etc etc. Not sure how to handle this, I've just been saying thank you.
Don't know if I should be repaying the compliment or not???
I have been invited over to help with the kids, which was unexpected but good to see them more.
