Chris, I am reluctant to say what your Ws motives are since I have only heard your side of the story.

I am short for time but feel I have some helpful points to make in your sitch.

[list]
[*]Decide what you want.

[*]Set boundaries. What you will tolerate and what you will not.

[*]Communicate these boundaries to W.

Whatever her reason for coming back, she is back, and it could be a combination of reasons. You may never know and it really doesn't matter. Things will change.

The joint FB thing is controlling behavior. If you pout your way into W agreeing to be controlled again you will ultimately regret it. You have to love in a way that the other feel free.
Joint FB is not Detaching, now is it?
