To me, your LM (as you described it) seems... mechanical... or forced. No offense, but that's just what hit me as a 1st impression from what you wrote. That being said, I can relate to those feelings towards your W rather well, since I have had similar towards my W recently.
BTW the difference between your W and mine right now is... mine would have just fallen asleep without telling me anything. Heh. At least your W spoke up... and it got you to a good conversation.
