Good to hear from you AJ.
I understand what you are saying here and you are right. I guess it's not as much of my "trying" to read what is going on but more like how I come away feeling after I talk to her. How it seems like maybe she actually was being honest and didn't have any ulterior motive and then finding out that that wasn't the case.

I know I have to stop doing even that. I have to understand that I can't take ANYTHING my W says or does on face value and just know that in the end she is out to get as much as she can get and doesn't care about anything BUT herself. It's just that I've never been that kind of person and neither was she (WAS being the operative word) and it's hard for me to think that way. I need to learn to and quickly!
