Yes, Why me, I know exactly what you are talking about. This friendship and easy going communication with a spouse who decided to get out of M. I am struggling with it a great deal, and sometimes am completely lost. This good, friendly relationship is a MUST for any positive comeback. However, I've learned not to conclude too many positive conclusions based on improved communication. In my humble opinion, spouse's friendly approach to us during these difficult times doesn't necessarily reflects any change in their hearts. This is how I feel in my case. Despite a significant improvement in how W and I communicate, we are miles away each from other, emotionally. I feel a lot of love, and I sense almost none from her, other than that friendly attitude. I hope I am do not sound negative, but I just want to share with you my view. Please, be strong.
