It is hard and it can feel a bit like game playing as if you're playing hard to get. But your W was hurting a lot when you were emotionally unavailable, depressed, and in your own words belittling. So give her that space to heal from that and let her see you as a safe place to be herself again. right now she doesn't see it that way but she could again if you keep the road home paved smooth.
Brit,
As always I definitely appreciate the perspective from a VET like you, as well as the perspective you offer as the W. I will continue to stay strong, but will definitely need continued nudges from you guys...LoL
It does kind of feel like a game for right now, but I guess that stage will pass once I truly emotionally Detach & release the worries etc...
