How does that make her feel? How does that make you feel? Is she glad to only have that type of relationship with you?
I still have hope that our marriage can be saved, but I don’t think I would even want to be around her like you do.

Just keep your conversations strictly about finances or the kids (business related matters). I am not sure what else there is to discuss when your separated. Always be friendly, upbeat and polite. Never ask her any personal questions or talk about personal things going on in your life either. I still do not ask my XW any personal questions and we have been divorced for over a year. Kid exchange is brief and most of our conversations are done via email. I never reach out unless it is something to do with the kids. I am not mean or nasty, we sit next to each other at our kids games and have joint birthday parties with the family. I just don't ask her personal details about her life. I only know what she tells me which is non-solicited by me. I also don't ask my kids either. Unless it impacts my kids, I really honestly don't care.
Never linger and always be the first one to end the conversation.
