I'm sorry for being blunt. THIS DOES NOT WORK. Let me repeat the most common and strongest piece of advice that you have heard here:
"DO NOT DISCUSS THE RELATIONSHIP." You are only going to hear what you don't want to hear. If you make it to piecing, that time will come.
If they are to come back, these WAW's need to see: strength, change and security. They need to be free of dependence. They need to feel attraction. And they need to see this WITHOUT you VERBALIZING it. You are a player on a stage now and she is watching the show. Will she see Russell Crowe as Gladiator or Rigoletto? La donna e mobile.
Those couples, from my experience here, who have made it back to piecing, were able to cut the rope, not look back, go on with their lives and totally detach.
Can you do that? It's the only method that works.
