From what I have observed the WW always reacts badly initially to a strong boundary. Expect that. Then later she will respect you for it and maybe enough to really want to work on the M. This process can take hours, days, weeks, months or even years, if at all. I am saying this not to frighten you, but so that you do not expect her to snap out of it immediately just because you are doing the "right"thing. I hope for you that it is quick but don't expect it to be.
Don't forget to GAL. Initially this is great to distract your mind. It also gives both of ye space. That is a great start. Then you forget your worries while doing an activity and ultimately you have so much fun, you really start living again. This is great for you and as a bonus you are happier and more attractive/interesting to W.
Work on improving yourself too. Who do you want to be. On M many people become lost from their true selves. This is a chance to refind that man. Work towards being that better man. It will stand to you regardless. The more you like yourself the easier the rest of the process becomes.
You are doing good. Keep going.
