JRuss - the lack of eye contact is something I know well myself. I hate to say it, but yes, it is disrespect and perhaps some hate and loathing.

Can you do anything about it? I don't know. Making a fuss about it will seem controlling and treating your W like a 5 year-old to her - perhaps that's how she's acting but she won't like being treated that way.

I treat it as a temperature gauge of how my W is feeling towards me at that moment. When I get eye contact and interaction I know that I can talk to her. When I don't then I know that she's not wanting me in her world right then and move on.
