Her fantasy is that she will "fly" and "thrive", the reality is often a bit different than the fantasy. They tend to exaggerate our power in making their lives miserable. My W is just as miserable as when I was still there, so obviously I wasn't the sole cause of her unhappiness. I'm sure you played your part, and you are certainly honest about that, but she had a role to play too and is choosing to bail rather than try out the new and improved Frank. You did NOT make this happen. Hey, the hike will do you both good today! Enjoy it.
