Your post is well articulated and it makes sense. I will be reading it several times. (I want to make sure it sinks in). Even though it makes sense, it just seems like suck a F’ed up game! Even though the W isn’t consciously trying to make it one. She’s probably just confused.
Right now, the W and I have zero affection, nothing. I will not push any affection until she comes around (if at all). If she does start coming around, I will never kick it up a notch, as you said, just mirror.
I really like some of your comments about what she might do. That’s extremely helpful because it will prepare me for the proper way to respond to some things that could come up. It will prepare me for a proper response rather than being put on the spot and doing the wrong thing.
