I think SO realized that she was overplaying her hand
Because she finally offered to come visit me on my assignment. From what I can tell, the offer was sincere, and doesn't sound like she did it grudgingly. She's staying for several days, so maybe she is backing off from her power play of rationing time and attention, at least to some degree. Interested to see how it goes.

Have fun!
I'm glad. Maybe things are improving. Have fun!
That's a major turnaround
it sounds like shes realizing what side of the bread has the butter.
Sounds like she's throwing
Sounds like she's throwing you bone to keep access to your wallet. Stay the course and keep being cheap with them. You have leverage, she is into games , so outplay her. (Seeing you want to stay in this relationship for now)

Holidays are here, so she's probably making sure Paul doesn't make waves or cut off funds.
Paul, do you believe this is all you deserve? The very best you can expect? Because it isn't.
This Exactly
Been there, done that. You are being played.
Gotta love when people start being nice and kind during a major gift giving holiday. I know it well. We fixed that here by ending the gift giving. Offered to pull names where each person would only have to buy one gift but that wasn't what they wanted. They wanted the over-the-top gift giving to continue. We quit playing their game and only buy gifts for DHs grands now.
It's hard to say for sure
It's hard to say for sure since this is the first time she is seemingly focusing on some time for the 2 of you but I hope this is a sign of good things to come for you!
