That is all very very positive. You showed your best side to W without pursuing, so she didn't feel the need to retreat. You were safe and being around you was rewarding for her. Perfect.

The other part to remember is to have no expectations. Keep doing the next right thing and let the chips fall, because you can't control your W's actions, thoughts, or feelings. You've got to let her come to her own realizations. So sometimes you're going to do all the right things and find out she met with a lawyer, or you're going to have a nice interaction and she gets moody. If you read other threads around here you'll see all kinds of confusing behavior. But you won't be confused because you know who you want to be.

When people go off track it's because they are trying to be whoever it takes to get their WAS back. It's false and it doesn't work. So have zero expectations and enjoy the good.
