living with WAW who hasn't walked yet (5)

Glad to hear you won't be carrying around a bunch of resentment - that must mean that you are forgiving her regularly, so essential!! Good job.

"Too little, too late" is a good start - it means she sees the changes, maybe even likes them, but doesn't trust them to be legit. Testing typically comes after this - what buttons does she push? Keep in mind that the WAW typically dsn't push buttons to get what she wants, but to get what she expects (and of course what she expects is negative!)

Preparation is essential to pass the tests. 1 - what button will she push? 2 - what negative response will she expect? 3 - what NEW response are you prepared to give? This is an oversimplified version, but you get the idea. Get creative and see what happens!
