Thanks for responding on my sitch. It seems we both have the same problem: It's almost like she is afraid that her true feelings for me will come back if given the chance. I am too struggling with this (I'm going to post a little more on my sitch).
May I offer a suggestion about getting physically closer to W? The next time ML comes up and she says no, try asking "Well, could I just hold you instead?"
Or maybe start out slow by giving her compliments, maybe touch her on the hand or arm while you two are talking, foot massages...anything small that would have you touching her in a kind loving way. This is something I have to work on myself. My H is touchy/feely person and I'm not so much.
