My wife barely looked at me and spoke to me for 6 months, I think I can handle harshness. At least now she acts like a friend with benefits.
Hard part is that I believe she realizes the fantasy life is not attainable and that I am her easy choice. 17 years of marriage / 3 kids / life of great memories and now I'm simply Plan B. Hard pill to swallow.
I hope her feelings are just buried and will return, it would be nice if she would work on the marriage since she has decided to stick with it.
I feel so much like Gordie, where bitterness and resentment build up.
Fake it til you make it has been my Mantra.
I'm not currently trying to Detach, that was the first 7 months. I am trying to be patient with what I hope is her attempt at reconnection.
