"Thanks for your posts. You both brought up the fine line between giving W space, which I interpreted as being separate and so not visible,"
That's not what giving space is about. It's about not being in her face talking about the R. It's about you discovering your own happiness as opposed to burdening your W with it.
"and being/asserting myself, which means I sometimes am nearby and visible. "
Again this has nothing to do with physical proximity or interactions with her. Her glaring at you is HER choice to do so. You are and have a right to be in your own home as you wish. But what you've been doing all these years is hiding from her when you perceive she is upset with you. There's a reason why male lions mark their territory. It's to establish boundaries and anything within their boundaries is their domain. You've let your W run your territory this whole time.

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