She will come home, or I'll find it in my own mind

[Heimlich]

Atlas,
I hate that manipulative type of invite too. Annoying as all hell. Shouldn't have let it ruin your evening though.

All in all, sounds like your W is making some positive steps to reconnect. Baby steps, followed by a fall on the ass, followed by more babysteps.

And, whatever she says, it won't kill you. Just might feel that way for a few hours (slight attempt at levity there).

Fingers crossed for you,
