dc, I am glad that I found your thread here. I have been struggling with the same question internally. How long do I give it until she decides if she wants to work on things? Burt has been a huge help for me with advice.

Like he says, I am really just trying to "drop the rope" right now. This isn't very easy to do. I thought of setting a date for myself as well, but I decided that I am not going to do that just yet. I found myself obsessing over how long is long enough. As of this point in time, I am just going with my gut and that I will just know when it is that time. I have made it clear that I can't be limbo forever and she has acknowledged.

Good luck!
