Yes, just keeping your mouth shut can be a big step. I may have already said this, but women want to talk out their stress. They are not expecting the H to give solutions. In fact, it makes some women angry when the H jumps into the conversation and tells her how to fix what's wrong......and then he's done and goes on. That is frustrating for her. She just wants you to hear her out, without telling her what to do. Unless she specifically ask for your opinion or help.
I think your W may be looking for an escape. It sounds as if she was overwhelmed with a little reality that it was not going to be as easy to walk away and get an apartment as she thought.
She will have times like this where she seems torn.
Trust me shutting my mouth is a huge step, lol. I'm pretty sure that if I had said anything she would have turned it around on me. Normally, I'd have lost my temper for one reason or another and said something mean or rude, but I'm fairly proud of myself for not even getting remotely upset, though my brain was going 1,000,000mph. I was cool and calm. Escape? hmmm... I think she does want to escape but she hasn't even given the how and why any consideration. But this is Typical W. She is not a person of action when it comes down to it. If she thinks, I'm going to push this process she is mistaken. I am not doing a thing to help her plan for this. I am putting all of this on her.
