it really sounds -even though you think you guys have progressed- that she isnt' ready.

My H was always all over me, now he barely touches me, we are doing C and our R is slowly improving, we have more quality time together but still he isnt' ready for physical demonstrations. We do ML, but I'm always the one to hold his hand and hug him, I had to toned that down too, he is still trying to find his way back, he has to choose to love me again. He is home and works to fix our marriage, but he has told me he doesnt' hate me but doesnt' ... you know. Until then I have to be patient.

So, give her time, heaven knows I want to hug and kiss my H all the time, but I dont' want to make him unconfortable nor seem pushy. Now and then I do grab his hand and give him quick hugs, I dont' want him to feel caged, so I'm taking it slowly. Maybe when you go for a walk hold her hand briefly, and go from there.
