Thanks for following and supporting me bttrfly and ha who.
Hawho, yes I have.
Pre deciding that I wanted to save my M there was a period of "well if she won't then I won't try". We slept on the edges of the bed with a no mans land between us. I hated that. Once I realised how long this could take I decided to not do that anymore. I couldn't live that way. So now I initiate contact every night. She doesn't initiate (yet !! Hehe) but she does sleep less on the edge of the bed. Contract isn't sexual but is beyond friend zone.
That is related to your wuestion but here is my answer. In the last three years there have been times where I have backed off and not initiated connection. Sooner or later W will break tis by initiating contact/connection. However it appears to me that she doesn't want things to deteriorate and when they do she does make an effort to re establish the status quo but doesn't go beyond..
Maybe LRT would be interesting to see her reaction but I am not there yet. I haven't tried everything. I am not putting myself under pressure to save my M. But I want to be able to look myself in the mirror and genuinely be able to say I tried everything before giving up.
Does that answer your question?
Best wishes
