eq, I understand the struggle. I also struggled with things like this.

However, think of it like this: Did you ever have a girl/woman that was into you but you weren't into them? Could you imagine holding and hugging and telling this person you love them? The thought of that probably turns you off, doesn't it? The more that woman/girl pushed themselves on you the further you tried to distance yourself from them, right?

Now, your W is you and you are that woman/girl (not really, but in those places in the above.) Do you really want to invoke in her feelings of turn off? Of wanting distance?

When you realize those things will do more harm than good (right now) it should help a little. Think of the end goal, not the current state. By not trying to do that today it might mean you get to do that later on. So focus on what works! GAL, 180s, detachment!
