Thanks db. Yes, I think she is coming to terms with her actions too. But I don't want to expect anything from her.

I think you are right the MC will turn on me from time to time to bump his credibility. I can handle that.

I also agree that her willingness to have me go along is a promising start. I am playing hard to get. It is a technique I am applying from the Art of Seduction.

I am uncertain of my approach now. Do I remain detached? Do I pursue a bit? Do I get some MC and IC under our belts and simultaneously build her interest in me? Do I tell her about what I want from our M?(One of her biggest complaints was that being married to me was like always being on a date. I was perpetually trying to impress her but was never showing her what I truly wanted.)
