Please, keep doing that "hoping for a better outcome" all the while, being a GREAT dad for the kid(s).
As for her "silence", that's normal. We see all the time, both in the examples in DB/DR and in posts here, that the WAS will often pull back after a period of closeness, the degree to which is usually determined by the amount of "closeness". In your case, the ML and the "good times" at the wedding probably confused her to no end and she's regrouping to see what she really wants. That's just a guess but I would NOT read anything into it. Go to the game, have a GREAT time and try to keep your mind focused on what you KNOW, that you are trying the best you can, you love your kid(s) and W and you WILL become stronger/better through this.
Oh, and I am REALLY glad to hear you making progress through reading DB. I am a little confused, did you say you DID read the rest of the other book (which BTW, if it's His Needs/Her needs, is a book I hear recommended here a lot I just think it has some "un-DB"ish things in it) and it "got you somewhere"? I don't really follow where "it" got you. Please elaborate or correct my misunderstanding.
