I was where you are right now sho. Heck, I was even turned down on the ML department for the first time during this phase. It hit me pretty hard to be honest. The only thing I could do at that point was to take the focus off my W and just be happy as you said. After 3 weeks or so of no pressure on the W and me just being confident and happy things became great.

My W actually admitted to me that she felt she could never be in love with me again after having me come back home. She even told her closest friends that it was not possible to forget the past and love me as the new me. That she only let me come back home for D sake. I just get the feeling that your W may be in this phase right now. The phase of being half in and not sure if she can ever be in love with you again. Just continue to be the new you and take the pressure off of your W for awhile and see what happens. You may be surprised with the way she responds.

Oh, and the whole phone code thing. That was something I absolutely needed to open up and fully trust my W again. Maybe that is something you can live without for now? I know how much it sux having any doubt in your mind, but don't let it consume you.
