CTH, I am not suggesting going overboard here but I think that women all want to be pursued by men and want to feel desired. I know this approach is contrary to 99% of what is on the boards here but it has worked for me and I realize everyone's sitch is different but if what you have been doing isn't working then why not try something else? What do you have to lose. Experiment.
DW82, I was also thinking on the painting thing, you guys were in front of the kids when you asked if she needed help right? I think this further confirms that she is not ready to introduce OM to kids, why? If he is so great and the future is so promising with him why not tell the kids. She still knows the R with him is wrong.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
