"I thought the thesis thing was okay - I felt like I made my point,"

I don't know how you felt your remark made your point. Your W wants someone to be direct to her. Not hinting.

"Yes, I could ask about what d15 things about our M. Do you think this would help things?"

With your D or your W? It might help your D to understand how relationships are NOT supposed to be.

"W probably because she wants nothing from me"

Another passive aggressive comment.
