When we read too much into actions, we attach expectations. Those expectations more often than not, become disappointments. Just trying to help you stay off of the emotional roller coaster.
I am the poster child for this ^^^. It's so true. And it happens even when you don't think you have expectations.
I know that DR talks about looking for baby steps and little improvements. But I am not sure that really does you any good in a S situation. I don't think there is much you can do if she takes baby steps towards you anyway - there's that squirrel analogy again. So I think that in your sitch you really need to be looking for a big step from her before you start to even think about mentioning R.
Sorry, I know that's not super encouraging at the moment. I think it's good to look at little positives, as long as you aren't attaching any expectations to them or trying to read into what your W is thinking. But it seems that is what you are doing. Keep focusing on yourself. Let your W bring up any kind of R talk - she will if she wants to.
