I wonder about that too. We've been generally polite toward each other, but there's been no warmth -- and we were both very affectionate toward each other before. I wonder how much the kids see. And my W has been noticeably grouchier since the BD. My kids have definitely noticed that. But I don't think it will get any better if she got the D that she wants. I think much of her grouchiness is her natural state, as she is frustrated w/ her world, and it will only become more difficult if the D were to take place. I don't know, maybe if she found a new lover, during the honeymoon period she'd be in a happier place.
