I would not be so quick to blame DBing backfiring. How were things going prior to DBing? Did you and her have these civil conversations? How do you know she is just not trying to shift blame in the most convenient fashion possible? IF, and a big IF she really was open to reconciliation, then certainly the revealing your efforts do as much would have moved her. Clearly it did not. I know I am speculating, but I'd put my money on her trying to shift blame to the M not working onto you. It seems to be working for her. Not that I am saying DB is 'perfect' or works in every case, but the concept is solid, and clearly different from what you were probably doing in the beginning...which was NOT working either.
