As for validating her feelings, in my reply email to her I posted the story written here about the WAW. I started off by letting her know,I know how she felt. That I read the story 100's of times and for to let me know if I was wrong. I understood why she did what she did and I have forgiven her a long time ago.
From her response, I know I need to take the lead. In fact I wanted to do it a month ago but thought that me asking her about the book would be pursuing. Turns out my gut feeling was right, I should have led back then.
That's why I asked her if she was ready to talk.
I will set a tiem this weekend. You're right about not focusing on the past. What's done is done. I pointed this out to her many of times and I know she will try to bring it up again when we talk. I am prepared to handle it.
Another point I need to discuss with her is her friendship with her GF. This is a breaking point with me. She needs to decide who she wants in her life, me or her. I can't be in W's life if she has her friend in hers.
Should this be discussed this weekend? It really is one of the major boundaries for me.
