She probably wants to "work on it" because of your new girly interest. If you are not feeling it from W there is a reason.

H wants me to get out and date, but when I did, he wasn't happy. Apparently it's okay for him to do so, but he hasn't dealt with all the repercussions within himself of me doing so.

Your W is probably a bit panicky right now, because she thought you would be there forever and it was a dash of cold water to maybe realize that wasn't going to be.

Your falling back in reminds me of the line in the Clarity song.
"You"ll pull and I"ll push too deep and I'll fall back into you..."

And I understand that line so much!
