I don't trust the signals, but I am going for small steps and I need to base my decisions on something.

Going from living apart to getting back together is a HUGE step. There is a ton of pressure there. What if you could take that pressure away and just go for smaller steps? Do something fun ... just the two of you. But don't pursue. If your w seems to be coming around talks about restoring the M but needs time to think. Instead of "going dark" while she thinks, suggest doing something fun together and put relationship talk on hold... This is just where I am at now. I may change my thinking on this.
