She sees this person I’ve become and realizes we could have a great R, but at the same time she’s afraid if she comes back then things will go back to what they were before. She still needs more time and space to sort it out.
My first thought here was "that sounds like my W." She's actually said as much to me and I believe it's, in part, why she refuses to commit. So it sounds pretty reasonable to me, mind-reading or not.
Are you in complete detachment at this point? If W wanted to go out with you (without pressure), would you be open to it? Or are you looking for the complete commitment? What's your next move?
