Agreed, I haven’t mentioned anything in terms of r for about a month now. We’re still cordial, mostly all business about kid drop off times and such. I saw one poster recommend reading a book called “No more mr. nice guy”. I plan on reading it as I believe I am that guy. Doing things for her for her validation or apologies all the time. I don’t like conflict and if she gets upset I retreat and back away. Part of the nice guy syndrome. Anyways might be worth the read
