Hi Gabs...sorry you find yourself in that situation. We all know how painful that can be.
A few thoughts...

I'm not sure how to interpret this.
I would avoid trying to interpret anything. You could drive yourself crazy doing that and will be right back where you are. The only way forward is forward, on your own. Detach, GAL, do some 180s...the thing that has always helped me here has been to try and shake it off so that I can set an example for my kids and lead them through this confusing time.
You'll feel much better doing that.

Nobody likes the way it feels, because the way it feels stinks. But it's not pushing her away. She knows where you are.
But non-pursuit doesn't mean you can't respond if/when the spouse brings some things up. As MWD says, it's ok to be loving in return just not overly excited or enthusiastic. Let your W bring it up though.
