Yep. Now you've set yourself up where anytime you're on there, you only have two choices: be too accessible to her ("pursuing"), or ignoring her (which is just rude).
I suggest you ditch the whole install in a few days, and tell her you found that it was a distraction from getting your work done or something. What you DON'T want to do is give your wife just enough "drip-drip-drip" of Hopeful4Her I.V. that she doesn't have to make any meaningful decisions.
You are SO much like me, H4H -- you are a natural-born "rescuer." I bet you are a KRAPPY practical joker, am I right??? Can't stand to see the other person twist in the wind, even for a MINUTE??
