I think you did great. Now you take your confidence, happiness, and joy back. Once you see she don't control any of those things, you will begin to be yourself more around her.
You can ask anybody on this planet how their day is. It's a questions you could your neighbor or sister. If she wants to go into more let her.
AS, talks about detaching with love. We dont have to be mean, and angry, what is that going to prove. I'm of the mindset that I will not let any person make me angry anymore. If I want to smile I will. You cant become happy if you are allowing a person to keep you angry.
Also, if she says she wants to be friends while being pleasant say, "I'm your husband, not a friend". And let the conversation continue.
This is hard, and by far the hardest thing I ever had to do.
We can't control the outcome, we can only control ourselves. And every decision made along this journey can be with, confidence and joy, no matter the outcome. Let no person steal your joy and they will no longer disrespect are take you for granted.
