Do you see the subtext here? If she were 100% sure she wanted out I doubt she would use "fix." Would probably end with "we need to discuss our options that would be fair to both of us." Etc.
The other fairytale and not being honest with self comments are a direct window into her taking responsibility for her foolish "pie in the sky" thinking. This sign of a conscience will go far in dealing with the older woman-younger man scenario with OM undoubtedly circling her thoughts IMO.
One thing you all need to know about Mrs. Choc. She may be high-maintenance, she may be prissy, she may even by somewhat narcissistic, with some MLC thrown into the mix. But she has a very strong conscience -- always has. I mean off-the-charts strong.
