OK, seriously, someone mentioned if my posts were not being commented on it meant I was doing things well, or good, or right??? Or people are bored w my story - always possible.

I am not sure wtf is going on with my WW. Am I doing it right? Story from past few days...you can all read above many times over about latest BD and how at the end I told WW she was free to make her own choices, I was free to make mine. Annnnnndddddddd....I did back off, significantly. I have accepted a few phone calls, 2 emails, etc, but I have ignored the bulk and when I did respond I was polite, validating, and brief; plus I left all of the talk up to her. And then today...

She called in the morning - I rejected call via text that said I was in a meeting, which was true. I called back thinking it was over S4, but she told me she wanted to say hello and then began on some mess about her work, I listened to her and then she asked me what to do about it. "Well, first I am sorry you feel that way, but as I was listening to you, you said [convo specific answer]. It sounds to me like you already know what to do, that must make you feel good." WW said "thanks for helping me" I told WW, it was not my decision, she identified it herself and that I had to go. Then come email bombs, which I did not respond to (except one, which was about what she had to pay on insurance - valid question - I only answered 'yes'), then another phone call, which I rejected with a text stating I had just gotten done performing emergency medical aid and calling 911 on one of my employees, which was true, and I was not able to talk. Then, mid-afternoon I get an email with a picture of a tree that states"I hope your day is going well" Please know that I am an Arborist,so in the past when I would screw up in the R, I would send her a tree picture instead of a heart or flowers or something. It was my thing to her and she sent one to me. Nice gesture, touching even, ignored it. Just 3 minutes ago I get a text. Thinking it was my buddy I had been texting earlier, I open it - text from her of my S4 (with her tonight) saying "he just looks more like you everyday". I did not reply - its late and I am actually getting ready for bed reading.

So, DB world, please offer me something - what am I seeing here, the dim lights working?, the LRT taking hold? guilt/recognition/loss?, am I now the distancer? or is WW just getting frustrated w/my hard to get?

It's still pretty early in this level of the strategy for me to even think this is turning around that quickly. At what point do you offer a small percentage more (It seems too early to me, so to you, the outside observer...) Please offer some thoughts.
