You know what I sensed from the above exchange Denver?
She doesen't trust you. You don't trust her. You're both on your guard. Pushing buttons and testing. Not very attractive, same ole stuff as 6 mos ago.
Time to do something different. But what? You obviously both still care - (somewhat).
Problem is this is eerily, scary similar to many WA's. They want to be friends; they want to be buds, but they still want to carry on with their OP's. Some even want to be roommates!
I can't tell you what to do about her man. You've told what you want. You've told her what you can't tolerate. Just remember, feelings are everything to a WA, especially a WAW.
But you've got to heal yourself - for you, and for SS. Listen man, ask any student after an exam, or athelete after a tryout. Sometimes your best just isn't good enough - on that day. So you prepare for the next time, by doing what? making your best, just a little better, but there are no f@cking guarantees. If you don't snap out of it as 25 said, this could go on interminably.
