I asked her if it was something "bad" and she said no, so I told her if she was not comfortable saying it or didn't know how, then wait until she was, and we changed the subject.
Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

In hindsight I wish we hadn't
No you don't. Your first instincts were right on the mark.
Your patience has gotten better. Keep working on it and you WILL be rewarded.

My guess is that she's been shining a LOT lately. I bet you are too. Forrest would be so proud....sniff, sniff....

When I was ready for bed, I got up and put my hand out for her to come with me....she said "always bossing me around", and got up and walked to the bedroom with me, where we cuddled up and went to sleep.
I hope you can fully appreciate both the beauty and the magnitude of that simple exchange.
You have much to be thankful for. Even with that release that you are still hoping for, you have so much to be thankful for.
She has begun to believe that you are real.
She has begun to believe again in your future together.
The words will come in time.
You damned well better never let her down again. The heart is a fragile thing.
You understand that you can never go back, right? You understand that even after she has released you from your purgatory, the work is not done? The marriage that you are slowly building will take this same kind of loving attention EVERY day, EVERY minute.
Blessings,
Bill
