GIMA, My sitch is a big lesson in patience and baby steps. Sometimes those steps are so small I have to remind myself to look at where we were two years ago and see how much progress we've made.

I think with women, once they've made the decision to walk away, whether an A is involved or not, it takes a LONG time for them to trust their feelings enough to come back.

Just enjoy the small stuff, small steps, and detach yourself from the situation. I find my W responds best, even this far into it, when she feels me distancing myself from her. Not saying don't love her and care for her, but take what she's able to give now and don't worry about the rest. I know it's easier said than done, trust me, I know, but for me (and maybe you), it's the only way unless you're ready to give an ultimatum and accept that that might not turn out the way you want.

Hope this helps.
