Just curious, JRuss ... when the kids are not in the room, what is the vibe like? What pleasantries are exchanged and conversations made? Do you guys greet each other, "Good morning?" Do you still call each other by nicknames (e.g., "honey")? She gives you a peck on the cheek when she leaves for work. Do you reciprocate somehow? A hand on the shoulder, a light pat on the arse? OK, kidding about the last one. But what do all these tokens of affection mean in terms of detaching?
