Cloudnine, your W sounds like an odd woman to me. Her name isn't Sybill is it?
Have you read some of the other threads on here where they talk about detaching. I think that is what you need to do. Let her wonder about why you want the table. Put some distance between you. Can you look for a new job, or work out of different offices so you don't have to see her so often. It seems to me like she knows just how to hurt you and she is not above doing so. What I'm saying is move on with your life and if she cares about you she will come after you. Don't keep reaching out to her if she only bites your hand. Stand back and let her see what a good guy you are, and if she can't see that maybe you should look for someone who can.
