W wants to "win", and show how hurt she was, and how unhappy she is and that nobody can force her into staying with me. You know what? Fine. I let her win, figuratively.
I doubt this is the case at all. It's a matter of validation - she's seeking validation for the way she feels; her unhappiness, hurt and sadness. You have admitted your mistakes here - but usually with an equal share of demonizing your W. Have you admitted your mistakes to her? Have you apologized? Have you pointed the finger right back at her after doing either of the acts above?
