Things continue to progress slowly forward. W asked me if I wanted to plan a summer vacation with the kids, and we have boked a week long trip. Also has suggested another mini-trip with them in the fall.
No R talk from either her or me, which is OK. She still is very hesitant to make eye contact with me, which I guess may or may not come with time.
I did send her flowers after my last visit, which was of course a gamble. She did e-mail me to say thanks, though. A few months back when I sent her flowers she did not acknowledge.
So we'll see. I'm not passing this along as advixce, but for me I think taking off my ring and dropping (well at least looesening my grip on) the rope seems to have made a big difference. I am happier, and thus not putting any pressure on her.
