Do I walk away from WAW? (3)

[1foot2]

One bright spot (kinda): last night I had a long phone convo with my good friend (the one who stopped through for a brief visit a month ago). He said he had gotten into a big fight with his partner when he got back from his trip, and that they had discussed separating (they have a three year old). I gave him a ton of advice about validating, listening with empathy, and identifying where he had come up short in vocalizing his emotional needs to his GF, which had led to resentment and anger. He took my advice to heart, and today he texted me that they are working things out, and that my advice had really helped.

Im really starting to think that even if my M fails, I will go become a counselor. Even my IC told me that she has learned concepts from me! She is still a student (the only reason I can afford an IC), but still. She told me I should consider it.
