You need to get a life. Go do things on your own. Join a bowling league, go skydiving, go fishing, join the Elks club, learn to fly an airplane... the list is endless. But until you can demonstrate to your WAW that you have moved on (meaning you are comfortable in your own skin, and will not hesitate to do things on your own), you are going to make minimal progress. You will be viewed by her as being weak until you get a life of your own, on your own.
