This would not be detachment. Doing something to get a reaction out of your W is the opposite of detachment.

You are correct above that detachment is not the same as being completely withdrawn. Have a PMA. Just be careful about making a 180 to be more emotionally open or vulnerable right now... that would be ill-advised.

Steve85 has a great analogy for this about broken-down cars and oil changes. I don't want to mangle it. Perhaps he can share it or you may run across it other threads.
