Mike, Pretend that you already gave it back. poof, the key is gone. Now go dim for a while and do some nice stuff for yourself.
I got a funny feeling W will pursue bigtime when she senses you sliding away. If she does, don't jump back towards her. Make her think you are moving on without her. If she brings up moving home, tell her not yet. Tell her your not so sure you can do that.
What do ya have to lose. Watch the pursuit dynamic when you start to pull away. Watch W very closely. Its a new environment that you need to learn to exist in. Pay attention and you can gain the upper hand and begin to reap the benefits.
This same issue is why I have been urging you to stop taking care of all your W's problems. I think I'll nick name you Mr. fix it! She needs to see that you will not put up with this B.S forever and she needs a taste of what life is like without you.
