Seems that way.

I have no idea honestly. I cant predict or guess her behavior at all anymore.

This is pretty much what i did.

My actual reply to judge was
"My intention when putting the hold order on was to wait until the other matter (criminal case) had been resolved so the RO would be gone and her and I could handle this amicably through mediation or reconciliation, then i was made aware that WW specifically requested the TRO to be extended, so we havent had a chance to talk"
JUDGE: "So then theres no plan of reconciliation?"
WW: *went to say something and paused*
Me: "Well as ive said your honor, i haven been unable to speak to Mrs. WW so there hasnt been any chance of that happening, so No.
JUDGE: *Glances at WW*
WW: "......No"

She barely said much else. Just Yes No and whatnot.
Id say her actions with extending the TRO speak loudest, but i also feel like shes still running and hiding from the reality of the situation.

Exactly, See above. Her actions have been, extending the TRO, not talking to me, being very short and curt when she does.
She treats me like i am some awful abusive jerk, when i didnt do anything like that at all. ever.
