I am worried that W is building up resentment. She seems fairly calm and OK with me during our interactions, but I worry she is quietly seething and despising me for what has happened to her life. That is a very sad feeling. I wonder if this is just part of the process of the WAW. Is it possible for W to get over this rough spot?
I think you definitely need to own your part in this. From that point you need to forgive yourself. That's not always easy, as I can attest to. One thing to note - you are not responsible for her happiness. That is her responsibility. She is likely doing a lot to validate her decision. Whether it is possible for W to get over this rough spot, you know your W best. Just keep DB'ing and GAL the best you can.
