So, I am still just as confused as before. Is her acknowledgement of being lonely a good or bad sign?
Neither. It's a good sign that she's sharing how she feels, but the feeling itself is just that and can change from moment-to-moment.

Is the wanting to ML good/bad?
I think you're trying too hard to read the signs and it's way too soon for that. There probably won't be any significant positive signs for months. You've got to give her as much time and space as possible, it's tough when you're under the same roof though.

Obviously the friends think they are helping but it is definitely not that way. I have spoken with them months ago about the situation but not really recently. W doesn't want me to talk to them so I will try to honor that.
Yeah, that never works out and just comes off to the WAS as pressure. And they'll usually blame the LBS for "rallying people" against them. It's best just not to talk about the M at all to family and mutual friends. Save it for here or for your support person or people that have no connection to your W.
