It's remarkable to me how, despite all their inner turmoil and fun-house mirror reality, the WAS know how to keep the LBS guessing - and under control...While I agree with Coach that is could be a good opportunity to see your W - so long as your goal remains one of reconciliation - the caution flags fly up for me in a big way...and not because I would pretend to read your W's mind -but merely because so much of it sounds so familiar to me - and in my experience, when I would get lured into something "nice" like a walk around the neighborhood - it often lead someplace worse...and much darker than I could have anticipated. Of couse, my mistake, a big one, I suppose, was to take the comforts of a quiet, calm walk around the block, our baby in the stroller, as a small sign that things were getting better - and I would say too much - answer too many questions about my thoughts - thinking that I was merely being honest - showing that I cared...only to have each and every thing I said held up and twisted and tossed back in my face...
That said...my first impression after reading your post about the texting, etc, was that your different responses are throwing off her game - so she's opting for a different tactic - it's DBing, I know - but sometimes the same signals that mark small steps toward progress can be the same steps that lead one toward a snare. fwiw...
