Jim, I'm obviously not there on a day-to-day basis watching what happens between you and W, but it sounded to me like y'all were making some really good progress. I don't know if you remember but I suggested postponing that conversation and giving it some more time to see how things develop for fear of your W seeing you as being too pushy and impatient. Her response is exactly what I thought might happen.
I'm reading a lot of the advice you're getting here and just kind of biting my tongue, I really don't understand why everyone here is so convinced your W needs to engrave a plaque stating that she is contractually bound to working on the M. Her actions say she is ALREADY working on the M, and what do we always say here? Actions speak louder than words, right? So why do you need her to say the words so bad? Looking at this from your W's perspective, I think she's saying "I already told you I'm committed to the M, and I'm already showing you I am, so why do you keep beating me over the head with this?"
Since you're getting conflicting info here maybe it would be a good time to invest in a DB'ing coach for some advice, it sounds like you are confused on how to proceed.
