Real quick. Married 7 yrs. 5 months ago W says doesn't love me, etc. since then great coldness, complete absence of intimacy, some talk about separation but we still live together. 3 and 5 yr. old kids. W feels emotionally neglected for several years. She has been very angry (and not just at me) throughout this 5 months. Anyway, doing lots of dbing--180s, giving her space, no OR talk, etc.
In the last week, W has done things that make me think she wants to move forward. Tues she gave me a real kiss (first one this millenium), last few days she's been more engaged with the family, this AM she asked to go on a family trip to the beach and we all had a very good time. No romance or touching, but we had real fund as a family (which is sometimes difficult with a 3 & 5 yr. old). Anyway, I hope some experienced people will read this and suggest how I should proceed. I don't want to come on strong and scare her away, but if this is an opening, I want to take it. The difference in how she acts toward me is quite striking--way less meanness. What is the first steps in piecing a marriage back together?
