Yeah, that was my xAH. He isolated himself upstairs in the bedroom most of the day and when he would come downstairs in the evening, I would sit in the same room for a while but there was little intereaction between us. He preferred to ignore me, to isolate himself from everyone for whatever reasons.
I think if there had been constant drama, anger, and certainly if there had been any danger, I would have left much sooner than I did.
