She thinks things have turned a corner, but what does that mean to her? Because on my end nothing has changed.
Have you asked her? Maybe there's progress you're making that you don't realize. I think the physical connection is last.

Try not to hurry! You'll get more out of it if it's slow and steady. In the meantime, do more of what you say below...

This is awesome!! If you feel it helped, then it was the right thing to do. Don't worry about rules. Just continue being open, honest and respectful with your thoughts and feelings, both with yourself and her. I used to think that bringing up things that bugged me in my M would cause distance. It doesn't; quite the opposite - bringing stuff like this up and working through it together brings us closer. I think if you keep working on interactions like this the physical stuff will follow. Hang in there! You're doing great!
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
