I guess for me I think it's important to acknowledge and process these feelings as they arise. The more I do it the less impact they have on me.
We don't or can't know usually, what is in their minds (even with all the snooping in the world, what they say may not really be reality), until they tell us, and show us by actions. We definitely can't control what they are thinking. But we can with our own thoughts.
For me, usually when she goes within and stops communicating, even answering my emails, is when they seem to creep out more. My imagination is too good for my own good sometimes... But when she does this, and if I can maintain myself, is when significant changes (for better or worse) tend to occur. For all I know W is not emailing me because she is trying to break her online habit/addiction, and that plan minimizes that behavior, idk...just don't know until she says something or does something.
