Good, and yes we've all been there! We go through quite the learning experience after BD!

My dilemma is, I'm at a point where my wife will not even say a word to me in our basic interactions with D exchange. How long before she will break this barrier and maybe start talking to me, or should i try and start conversation with her. She does text me in regards to our D and i reply straight to the point and don't try to make additional convo myself.


Sounds like you are doing fine. A lot of WAS's get very "cold" after BD. My ex was that way as well. I just continued to be cordial to her, followed the "friendly neighbor" tip from here on the forums. At one point she actually told me she did it because she thought it would make it easier for me to accept that she was leaving, but she felt guilty because she was being rude and I was still being nice. So she said she was going to quit doing it, and she did, she was nice after that. So yeah, you just be you and let your W be cold and indifferent if that's what she chooses. It may change sooner or later.
