H and I own business together, still talking

Grid,

I think she wants to stay at the store she works at because OM is there also. In the past she has had some job offers. One was downtown as a customer service rep, $2 more an hour and they paid for parking and it was in the building where the offices were. I think she gets complacent and is comfortable with co-workers and is afraid to change.

As far as approaching OM, all the advice here says to not acknowledge OP. W has said we could work on M and get it back, but it would come back to where it is now again. My job is to convince her otherwise. She's afraid I'll change to get her to come back and revert to the old ways. I've told her I've read many books and wouldn't go back. I see the changes I have, will and must make. That unless she will give us the chance she will always wonder if it would have worked.
