Dealing with WAW Part 2

[pilot]

I just met my W to get my kids today. Everything was pleasant as always. We ate at Cracker Barrel and everything was upbeat and positive. Conversation was benign like last time. She did not compliment me on my appearance for the first time since we started swapping kids during our S. I had never returned the compliments to her. When saying goodbye she initiated a hug again, but it was a much shorter one than last time when she intentionally prolonged it.

No mind reading, but I am concerned as discussed earlier that maybe the 'road home' does not look too well paved for her. Perhaps some suggestions on how to smooth out that road without jeopardizing my DB efforts. She has been initiating text messages outside of kid related stuff. She also turns the facetime onto her herself when I am talking to the kids so she can idle chat. I have maintained a NC unless kid related stance. I also have not paid her any compliments. I think I have the LRT/NC/detach part down...perhaps too well.

Any suggestions from vets or those who have walked in my shoes? I have no problem continuing on the path I am on and waiting for her to make a more direct approach to discuss R. I just want to make sure she knows there still is a road home (especially since I pretty much told her there was not going to be, then went dark).

Thanks!
