Anger and animosity...how do I help my W (if I can) move beyond these two feelings? Before landing here, I broke a few of the rules...namely, involving her parents, snooping, and lying about them both. I feel less inclined to snoop as I once did (perhaps that was a phase) and am trying to rebuild trust by letting her know when her parents contact me.

I'd like to think that this sort of forgiveness will take time and patience...I've started to forgive her for the EA that I hope is now over, but things are at a complete standstill at the moment. Do I give her the time and space that she needs to work through this?
