Dont be surprised if she continues to cycle with these emotions and feelings being shared with you. Then they pull away for a bit.
When my H was in MLC, I would get way too excited when he would text or talk to me about his feelings. I would then get really upset too - when he would pull back afterwards.
Tipper, I did the same thing for at least a couple of months now and we were both on a cycle. She even said a couple of weeks ago that she would let her guard down and then I would say or do something and the wall would go back up again.
It was not until I caught some real wood in the head one night from a good friend that I could see the cycle we were both on. It revolved around our weekends with my son. I don't know this but I strongly suspect OM#1 is back in the picture and I would get upset by this and right before her "weekend off" I would say or do something that would totally tear down the trust I had built up over the last 2 weeks.
I have been able to remove myself emotionally from the thoughts of her with OM whether it is true or not, there by getting off that roller coaster. The other coaster I have to watch out for is what you mention here about the "highs" I get from the positive baby steps from her, and not have any expectations, definitely not easy.

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