Quoting Stephanep: Maybe she doesn't know! If so, perhaps time to back off a bit, give her the space and time needed to figure it out, and dont start that same dance you were describing earlier: distance, pursue, three steps forward, two steps back.
In the meantime, dont give her any reason to start it on her own!

I backed off two years ago, Steph. Not too successfully at first. Made all the usual mistakes, but that's what I've been trying for quite some time now.
I don't intend to back off any further, but I think you're right that I cannot bulldoze my way back into her confidence.
