Navy, I'm reading along and cheering you on from the sidelines. My heart sinks every time I read that you decided you had to "talk to W about" something.
I see that you can't stand your discomfort and you attempt to alleviate it by talking things out with her. I think that does two things. One, it drives her further away. Two, it temporarily alleviates your discomfort so you avoid taking appropriate actions.
Others have noted that you're throwing WAYYYYYY too many words at her. What happens if you sit with your discomfort when you have the urge to have R talks?
Maybe it's time to invest in some duct tape. Remember, loose lips sink ships!
