I absolutely agree with Jo's perspective on your interactions with W. My W does the same thing. Sort of keeping me in an orbit (actually in many orbits of randomly varying closeness, never quite committing and never quite quitting. Your W is very confused on the inside and hence her wish to get away from it all for a couple of weeks. Not to worry, it doesnt mean anything. It is a process that she has to go through and it will give her plenty of time to think about her life and what is missing in it etc. My W did this in the earlier part of this 2-year process in which I am. It did not really help in any tangible way, just gave her a welcome break from the mess. Actually, looking back, my going away from her for a couple of weeks helped to get her closer a little bit and I am beginning to think I should try that myself soon. I would actually recommend it to you. Having a youngs child and coparenting it seems like you are thrown around so close to W that she has to get away from home to experience some calm. Another way to change the dynamic is to leave her with S5 at home for a while so she can experience the emptiness in her familiar surroundings when you remove yourself.
In any case, Gabriel, I would not expect or fear major changes in your W upon return. Maybe small changes. I need not remind you that this is a process that may take months( for a self-sufficient woman like your W). Having a good bonding time with your S.

The 3 laws of DBing:
1. PMA is critical to DBing.
2. Since drop in WAW's PMA leads to drop in LBS's PMA and vice-versa detachment is critical.
3. Validate to raise WAW's PMA and GAL to raise LBS's.
