Dan, it sounds like maybe you're trying to hang onto the house as a way of hanging onto your W. Just let it go, and let her go. You may have a future together but it's not going to be anytime soon, it's way down the road. So until then you've got to let this all play out.

Your improvements are for you, not her. Right now she doesn't care about an R with you, so it doesn't matter if she sees them or not.

Feels like the picnic I'm having outside the castle is being 'moved on' to somewhere further away!
The idea of the picnic is that you are living your life and you are letting her live hers. If she comes closer you don't do anything different. If she moves farther away you don't do anything different. She can and will come closer and then distance, that's normal. You just keep doing what you're doing.

Do I need to do anything differently to what I'm doing presently?
Nope, you're doing fine.

It would make for an easy life and I think we both need that.

I'm also unhappy with her last sentence.
How should I respond?
Don't respond to that part at all, just stick to business. Selling a house is always tricky business. You might refuse their offer and get another right away, or you might get stuck with it another 6 months regretting having not taken the offer. Like Steve said, the longer you sit on it and pay mortgage payments, then the more you are eating into potential profit, so keep that in mind. I've seen people refuse an offer and then 6 months later desperately accept an offer that is far lower than the one they refused!
