I have been reading other threads similar to my sitch. I realize my 180 has been poor.
I have failed at not pursuing. I have shown too much interest in her day to day activities. I ask her what her plans are, offer to do things with and for her.
Unless I have a question pertaining to the boys, I will not ask her anything. If I go out or do something I will No longer ask if she wants to accompany me. She can tell me herself. The door will be unlocked but I will not open it for her so to speak.
All conversations will be initiated by her. Marriage related or otherwise. If she wants my input, she will ask. I wil "act as if".
It has finally sunken in and I WILL BECOME A BY THE BOOK DB'er. I will reach out to my DB community for support and guidance.
