Well, I certainly cannot give you any flack for brunch. I have done this same type of thing on ocassion, and have even used the same logic that you did. This is a tough transition on everyone and going cold turkey is not a practical expectation.

I would not read to much into your W's actions, who knows what is going on in her head. However, maybe this is a small baby step in the right direction. If she gets more affectionate or initiates more conversation, then things are looking better. If her behaviour stays the same over the next couple of weeks relative today, then I would say it means something else. I would write this suff in a journal or something.

I think when your W has a change of heart, you will know it. Do you think your tough love appraoch is having some type of effect on your W, good or bad?
