Hi SP,
It must hurt to talk with W about dating. I read/heard somewhere to not have too much of a conversation with W about her dating. I really can't tell you why. I just remember with all the reading I did in the beginning.

Also, about your advice on LL - PT. I would say start with putting your hand on her shoulder, for example. If hugs are too pushing, try slight casual touches.

I believe I began to disconnect from H way back when he stopped PTs. Yesterday, he casually put his hand on my waist when we were moving around in the kitchen. That was big for me! I asked him for daily hugs and I noticed he's giving warmer hugs now.

I also asked him to hold my hand and although he said he would, he hasn't. And it's been over a month. This is really hurting me.

Just thought I'd share this with you. Hope it helps.
BTW, my DB Coach, Laurie, suggested the casual touches. ;-)
