That was quite an interesting reaction from your W.--especially given that she's in another relationship! It's so weird to figure these kinds of dynamics out...on the one hand, there is this total disconnect with the WAS, but on the other, they still experience some kind of connection or contact--but with no commitment.
I think I get what you were saying earlier about the sense of not really respecting her, but still caring / loving her...normally these two things don't go together, but in these kinds of sitch's it actually makes sense. I'm in a similar boat.
Glad to hear that your work situation is better now; I'm sure that feels like a good piece to have some grounding in.
