Astime....It sounds like she might be seeing that the grass is greener with you? I would keep this up, but I think that your outburst was a much needed boost in your efforts, especially if she has not seen this side of you. I'm talking from an outsider's perspective, and what I see is that she is finally realizing what she is going to lose, a great R with you. Her feeling lonely and thinking about you is good. And her opening up the R talk was also a big step - for her! Use this as positive momentum, and just keep doing what's been working - in small steps. Always small steps.
This is good to hear!
