I just had a great talk with my W. I came away feeling more hopeful than I have been in a long time. I didn't ask her to change her mind on anything. I stressed that I wanted to find ways to give her space... I wish I had a recording and could listen through it again.

She talked.

We talked about some of the points in our relationship we wish had been different.

I left feeling compassionate, not angry. I confirmed with myself that what I really want to do is impress W by giving a lot more space. Not coming back home.
