Dusty, glad the IC went well for you. I'm very surprised you're still able to greet your W and ask how she's doing. I'm not that strong. After my W said she wanted a divorce, she's like a ghost in my house that I pretend isn't there.

Weird that your W moved back into the MBR. I would advise that you just tell her it's hard and uncomfortable for you to share the MBR with her. Maybe don't tell her flat out to leave the room - I don't know, there may be legal ramifications if you say she absolutely is not welcome in the room.

Please don't hate your emotional side. Your emotions are not a weakness. This is a horrible thing we're all going through, and you shouldn't ever look to your W's lack of emotion about this and be jealous.

Has your W been on anti-depressants? The only reason I ask is that my IC asked me the same thing when I told her my W had zero emotion when we told the kids.

Hang in there!
