I am sorry that the conversation with you W had her reaffirming her position for the status quo.
A vet really needs to chime in here for sure.
Personally I think there is some room to move here. I have thought for sometime that under all W silence, she is quietly seething with anger. Personally I think that this anger needs to be expelled by her before there can be any shift. Her having a being spew needs to happen.
While it likely will be no fun on your end, there can be no coming together until this anger and resentment is out in the open. Then some move towards healing needs to happen.
I am interested Mutatio, how did this conversation come about?
Another thing that interests me, is how W sees this housing sitch working for the next two years.
Ok so she doesn't want a relationship with you, yip no worries. But why not appear happier and more at ease in her own life and company. Why not just move out and on?
Personally W behaviour is confused she wants the best of all worlds and committing to none. She appears to be very unhappy.
I also see her punishing you, rather than her moving forward for a new life for herself.
W is very confused in my opinion and has no idea what she wants. I think she is likely in a lot of pain.
I hope some wise vets come by and offer your support and guidance.
