Down and out...need hope.

Ronda is right, you are PURSUING LIKE CRAZY. Look at it this way - your W is temporarily insane. You are proceeding as if you believe that you can 'talk sense' into her - you can't, she is a nut case.

Don't set yourself up with expectations of what she will or won't do - of COURSE she will be rude and disrespectful, of COURSE she will not reciprocate in bed, of COURSE she will tell you it's all for your own good, and of COURSE she will see counseling as all about pursuing her MLC Master Plan. You have got to stop expecting anything different from her, because for the time being you are NOT going to get it. Think in terms of her as having been abducted and replaced by an alien - that mindset really works.

Instead, focus on yourself and what you can do to be happy - without requiring one iota of help from W. So... where's that list?
