I have a question: Why do you spend so much time contacting W? It seems you are emailing her a lot and always having conversations. If she needs space, give it to her. If she feels you always controlling everything, don't - let the chips fall; let her be responsible for herself.
Like I always say, be careful what you ask for, you might get it. In my sitch, my WAW wanted out, now she's out. Turns out it's a cold, hard world out there. Too bad for her.
Going dark is for you. It will give you a chance to clear your head and put things in perspective. From all your posts, it seems you still "need" her for your "fix." If it's over, let her go. And do not, under any circumstances, be accessible or accommodating. Even if it's about the kids. She's an adult parent - time for her to step up and act like it. And, if you're not ready for the D, then stop helping. She's never gonna respect you for having been a "nice guy" through all this.
Sometime you gotta give a man (or W) enough rope, so he can hang himself.
Doing a 180 is as much for you as for your M. This counts for what you've done for GAL. If you don't have one started yet, then do a full 180 and get to it. Stop doing what doesn't work. Detachment will be your biggest 180 yet. Get it done.
