Yes, she wants to keep you as her 'friend' and financial supporter etc - whilst continuing her A. that's typical WAS, and something my H tried to do. I told him I wasn't willing to be his friend. I'm his W....and I went dark for awhile after that.
If you are a good friend during an A, it can come across as condoning the A. Also, it doesn't build respect from your W for you...
