keep a handle on your emotions. Be careful of coming across as needy, or pleading. Detach, as best as you can. How would you react to what she was saying if it wasn't your W saying it, but someone else? Also, before you say anything to her, think this to yourself: "is what I am about to say going to bring my W closer, push her away, or be neutral"? It is a great guideline to use...
