You need to go into this conversation with the idea that you are going to LISTEN to your W and VALIDATE her feelings. Go into with the idea that you love her regardless of what is said. You need to show her the new you.

With all due respect to Chatter, there is no need for you to try and control it. You have basically been silent for months. Your W already believes that you have moved on in some ways.

This is an opportunity for you to show her that you are her friend, that you love her unconditionally, and support her journey to grow as a person.

It's one conversation. An opportunity for you to show your W what she is giving up. There is plenty of time to set and enforce boundaries later.
