I wanted to add something else. In talking about thinking of what's the worst possible thing she could do and whether or not you could forgive her......(of course, I'm talking about in the MR)......there is a very important point I want to get across. All of the DB techniques are not to be done out of anger. You do not operate out of anger,vindictiveness or hatefulness. You operate out of what is the "right thing to do". Okay? Okay.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
