It all depends on the day. Sometimes she'll use an old nickname. Most times not. A lot of the times she goes somewhere in the house where she's sure to be away from me. Other times she seems able to tolerate, say, our both reading in the MBR before bed or watching TV (pretty far apart) on the couch. The cheek pecks before work are usually when I'm between her and the door and it would be more awkward than its worth to rush by or the kids are there.

Last night was a bad one. She had her first counseling session,and I asked too many questions. This after telling myself to avoid asking any. Horrible performance my JRuss when the chips were down. She shut down like I was prying, which I was. Very cold shoulder all night, her sleeping on the far edge of the MBR.

Things really feel like they're moving to a new, colder, less salvageable place.
