If you are a betrayed spouse, how long did it take you to communicate with spouse? My husband will not talk with me and I want this to work out?
How much time should I give him?

percy, unfortunately, you can't make someone talk to you who isn't interested in talking with you. It took me about 30 seconds to communicate with my spouse. I communicated that he should get the hell out. And then he quickly became communicative.

My WH has barely spoken to me for two months (he lives with OW). I am exposing him and OW to their colleagues at the Catholic school they both work at, and suddenly he can't seem to get enough of talking to me. I'm so flattered. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I love what ML & Alphin wrote! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Although I (FWW) always spoke with my BH, what really did it for me is when he wrote me off. Said he was moving on and then did it. Then, I was more than willing to beg for forgiveness and run back home. Egos and arrogance kind of go out the window at that point.
