is the happy to sad turn-around because she is freaked out that I'm working hard on fixing me or...Is she pissed for this reason or that... or...?
My answer your question - Who knows? Who could ever know? I suggest you just stay out of her head. It is a nutty world in there. Do your best to stay out of it. Sounds to me like you are trying to analyze why her actions look so nutty on the outside. I'll give you my guess. It looks nutty on the outside because it is nutty on the inside! I don't mean to be flip, but... from my point of view, MLC is just a fancy word for nutty. And I'm not criticizing either. My wife is also pretty nutty. The point is, you ain't gonna understand it, no matter what. It's nutty. Just take it as it comes.
Seriously, I know what you are going through. You're trying to follow along and "get it." Your trying to interpret her actions because you're not getting the dialog you'd like from her. But pssssstt.. here's a secret; There's nothing to get. There's no sense to it all. Stay out of all the day-to-day ins-and-outs. Elevate yourself above it. I'm not saying ignore her. There's no problem texting back and forth or whatever. But, spending your psychic energy trying to figure out the ups and downs - it's wasted effort. and it definitely is not "detaching".

My guess is that she'll do nothing or be nasty at the beginning, but if I can pull this off for a couple of weeks, I think she'd begin to come around.
