Yes, exactly, I agree completely. She's clearly having an MLC. Even her sister told me so in confidence, as part of her efforts to give me support in this situation. I've mentioned before that her family has always been kind of my "fan club".

Your observation is why I want to maintain friendship with her but am not trying to re-start our traditional marriage relationship. However I am taking it as a challenge to be the "best version of me" as a result of this. Part of my plan is to designed to give me more confidence from feeling more attractive. And other goals are to pursue adventures I've been putting off.

I'm not trying to win her back. But I admit that I'd feel some satisfaction if I sensed her attraction to me increased as a result of my self-improvement journey. At least it might enable our future relationship to be more amicable and devoid of stress.

Thanks for your response.
