"I love every chance I have with her to show her that I am a new and changed person"
You're not getting it. You're not changing for her, you're changing because you know it makes you a better man.
"but I don't want her to think that it's okay to play games."
That's part of your warped perception again. She's not playing games. She just didn't want to be married to you.
"I still want to save my M, but I won't lie the closer it gets to the big move the harder it is.
Because you haven't learned to cope in a healthy way. You have to get back your self-esteem and self-worth so that the move doesn't affect you as much.
"So, how should I handle the "guideline" talk? I think there should be some guidelines so we know where we stand. Am I right in thinking this?"
No. You're trying to control another person's actions. You're trying to teach her a lesson, etc. when she's your W and not a child. The guidelines are basically what you will tolerate for yourself. The only way they work is if you have leverage, and in this case, you don't. Control yourself and not her.
"She never gave up anything for me."
Never speak in absolutes. That statement is total BS and you know it. There were times that she did. There is no such thing as 'never'. That's how the WAS convinces themselves that they were 'never' happy.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
