Isn't there a point where not complaining would mean she's realized how good you are/how good she had it versus being mad at what she doesn't get to do since she's left your family/the relationship?
One more quick though: I don' think we ever get to this point. We'd have to ask someone who's been through it, but I don't see my WAW stop complaining and become positive because she sees "how good I am/how good she had it." That's not realistic and would require her to admit she was wrong, when she wasn't. She had her feelings and her reasons and, while I disagree whole-heartedly with them, they are hers to have and to own. I can't discount her reasoning because I see it a different way.
It makes some sense, though, that we may soon have some sort of discussion where we will open the door to making a plan for the future. I have no illusions: that plan could still be very much the BIG D. But, I do sense somewhere down the line, very soon, something will give to tip the scale one way or the other. Either way, my DBing will continue, albeit in a different form.
