I can tell you that my XW runs very hot and cold. Some weeks she is very chatty, reaching out to me for various things, sending me text messages about the kids, etc. and other weeks she seems angry, upset, withdrawn and reaches out barely at all. She definitely seems to cycle in her moods.
Before she moved out she said all the right things to help ease me down but once she moved and got her own place she initially became very cold and distant. You could tell she was flexing on her new found freedom. GGW until she found her current boyfriend now she doesn't goo to the gym any more, isn't eating healthy, stopped the fake tanning and eyelashes so she seems to have stopped peacocking since she has a man. I say that but she did get fake boobs
When your in it I can say it was very hard to see however now with space and distance is has all become very clear.
