It seems, without mind reading here, that what I have done is created a situation where it is possible my W thinks there is not a smooth road home (if any). This is compounded by scenarios where LF was involved, my rebuking our almost physical evening, purposefully coming across as overly detached, among other things.

The DB coach seems to 'think' that there is some deep connection W still feels with me which has kept her from pushing the D through as well as allowing the good connections we have had on and off. But I need to work on making sure the path home does look easy. And to not try and make having discussion of the A a requirement to working on the marriage. She seemed to think that comes after you agree to work on the marriage. Seems to make sense. She wants me to take more risks and not be so afraid of the idea I may get hurt again in the future.
