It was worth a shot because no where else would she tell it truly like it is. If she had said, "I keep fighting back the desire to reconcile with Brit" it would give you staying power or if she had written, "I can't wait for Brit to get the heck out. I'm worried he thinks we can try again and that is never going to happen", it might give you the wherewithal to drop the rope more. It was really an opportunity. Personally I'm glad you didn't get either one of those.
