It's been about 4 weeks since I started doing 180s and GAL. I keep communication outside the house to email only and only concerning kids/finances.

Yesterday when I got home, WW wanted to talk to me about her job and the ppl she worked with. She seemed interested in talking to me. I was polite but instead of talking a lot I took the advice given here to keep my words few.

Usually when I talk to WW, it's selfishly one-sided from her - she has zero to little interest in anything I have to say about my day or my interests and this was the first time I decided not to talk about myself.

Without reading anything into this, I guess this is part of the detachment effect of pulling away?
