Sounds like you're on the right track here. I'm very impressed with your courage, though not surprised.
How do you plan to be more distant but "catchable"? I think she'll probably figure you're always available, but am I wrong? That's what I think about my H: that he'll always know I love him, so he'll never really think he could lose me. It's quite a conundrum. I'll be interested to see where you go from here.
You are very good at looking at your sitch from an outsider's POV, and you are making good progress.
