NicoleR, thank you for the advice. Indeed I have tried to apologize sincerely a couple of times, but she gave the classic "too late" response.

Things have been becoming warm a week ago since I controlled my emotions and try not to fall into R arguments with her for almost 2 months. I tried as much as I can to take care of the child so that she can have more space and time. She responded positively by cooking meals that I liked during the weekend, having dinner together with me and the child, and she even went out for a movie with me and the child. She knows that's the movie I've been wanting to go.

However, last weekend I made a very stupid mistake asking her if things are getting better between us. She immediately dismissed that idea and saying it was only peaceful because I stopped bugging her, but not better. Then I lost my cool and went on with the begging/crying crap. I kept asking why she is doing this and if there is an A involved. She said she doesn't know what is more there to explain other than she doesn't love me anymore. She denies any chance of A. That made things back to square one. Now she has become cold again. And when I said I won't bug her like that in the future, she doesn't trust me anymore. I need to earn that back. I think being away for a while does not only give her more space but also force me to control my emotions. Admittedly, I've always been the more emotional one between us.

She is cold to me, but she still talks to me. She sometimes talks about her work, and occasionally our past. What's puzzling is that although she loves our S deeply (she basically raised him up until now, I was involved but not even close to what she's done), she became a little distant from our S now. She hugs and kisses S, but doesn't spend much time with him now. And she gets easily irritated by him. Is there anything similar to postpartum depression going on?

I've been reading about the WW, Sandi2's rules, tough love, etc. But again I am not sure if any of those are applicable in my particular case. Any insights will be highly appreciated!
