I had mentioned earlier that one of W's key complaints has been the lack of affection/touching. I don't need to explain how that happened. It's a cliche circle of withdrawl. However, detaching as suggested and leaving her in time and space would simply be a continuation of our exzisting relationship. She would have nothing to miss. I was already THAT guy. That's why I felt it necessary to add the touching/affection back; even if it's simply back, foot or neck rubs. If she gets it from me then it will feel comfortable and familiar as well as reducing the need to get it elsewhere.
Just a theory.
Understood, but just know that we've never seen it work. There's even a running gag around here about the "foot rubs" thing. Just make sure you leave her wanting MORE, and don't overdo it.
