She commented on in on Sunday after the movie - she asked me "Are we ever going to get back to where we were." I should've said "we are a lot closer than we were weeks ago." I didn't. I just said I thought we would.
Hi Harrier, I don't know if I've ever posted on your thread before; congrats on piecing. I just wanted to comment on this one thing. I don't think what you replied is so bad...
If I put myself in your W's shoes and said that, and heard my H reply: "We are a lot closer than we were weeks ago" I would likely have interpretd that as he wasn't really hearing the fears I was sharing with him, or even contradicting me.
I think you did great by just staying present within your experience of the situation, and commenting on YOUR feelings about it ("I just said I thought we would.") while at the same time, acknowledging the fears she shared about her experience of it. I'd say you handled a difficult conversation very well.

I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
