"Thanks, I will finish reading the books. I generally read them on my lunch break. I just feel like everything Im doing right now is wrong and its getting worse."
Because you're not doing the right things. That's why reading the books should be first priority. Study them like you would a text book. Highlight points.
"And now her dad thinks Im going to call him to talk to him because her brother told him that I was. It will make me look very rude if I dont call him. Maybe I should send him a text explaining that I dont think its a good idea to talk because of its effect on the situation."
Call him. Don't text. Be a man and just tell him that you respect your W and are changing to make yourself a better man. Don't go into details. Tell him that you appreciate his concern and always respected him and his family and that you want your W to be happy. And that's all. Don't elaborate.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
