For what it's worth- I met up for coffee with my WAW a few weeks ago. I had a gameplan of what I wanted to discuss and what I would say if conversations went certain ways. I went in anticipating a positive meeting, and it was a positive meeting.

Rehearse some scenarios (without making yourself crazy) what are your common fights/arguments? How can you react differently to break the cycle?

What can you do to validate her feelings and thoughts so she feels comfortable sharing? Make sure to listen to what she's saying so you can address concerns through actions in the days/weeks following.

This could be a good info gathering session if it comes to fruition.
