Spartan, your convo sounds so much like the ones I've had with my W. It's practically the exact same script. My suggestion is to back completely off now. You can rest assured that she knows your position, so there is no need to talk to her about it again. I did just this in my sitch. I completely and totally detached and even moved on. I was truly done, but suddenly W started showing interest again. About 6 weeks ago I asked her to attend RetroV in January and she said no, so you can imagine my shock when I got an email about 2 weeks ago that SHE was checking into signing us up for RetroV. Then a few days later I had dropped the kids off at her house and she followed me outside and latched onto me with a massive hug like she would never let go, the first hug of any kind she has initiated in over 6 months. Since then I've seen many more baby steps. I'm maintaining my distance and letting her come to me though. So detach, it's best for you and best for your R with your W as well.
