Hey Jeff..
I was thinking about your exchange...

"So, W got home last night, found some food, and watched a movie with the gang before coming into the room. And said, in a very flat voice....
You bought a new comforter?
You bought new sheets?
Then I took the dog out.
I got back in, she was getting in bed, she seemed to be looking for something, so I asked if there was something wrong. She kind of grunted, I said, "Sorry, I thought you were looking for something"
Then she said...
"Can I turn off the light?"
That was the entire extent of her comments."

.. she just seems so entrenched in her position, its a defence mechanism, or a wall, she is not too near to breaking it down yet is she. I wonder if one level she isnt a little mad at you for the changes you have made? She was comfortable in the stance she had taken against you.. she had given up on you and your M and I dont suppose she expected anything, or you to change? And then you did.. and you kept makinmg changes and now you have asked something of HER.. and I wonder if she isnt a bit mad at you for that, for pushing her out of that safe comfort zone she has been in for years...? You keep pushing though! You are the eternal optimist, I am sure others would have given up and had an A a long time ago, so all credit to you...

She doesnt realise how lucky she is!!!
