Pushing on

[NDY]

Hi wonka, thanks. I was really surprised as well. Wasn't expecting it at all. Couple of thoughts I've had so far:

Ok, so what I've learned about the last few interactions with WW is this:

Any talk of saving the M will go down in flames (eat the elephant) so need to think small and build it from there (we don't tell her that though).

Any talk of MC will also go down in flames so needs to be avoided.

Then there is the OM. Don't forget about him.

I've broken down her communication into the following points:

the alternative to separation and/or divorce

Not sure what to say here. There is only one alternative but can't come out and say it. How do you say something about this but make it small enough that it won't scare her off?

not meant to be confrontational

Good, lets call the dogs off for a bit and try to talk to each other like adults.

interested in understanding what you think

Opportuinty for mirror here?

workable alternative

This to me reads like cake eating.

give me more insight

Need to tread carefully here. Does she really want to know what's going on in my mind? What am I saying, ofcourse she does.

I don’t understand your stance

^^This. This is because to her there is no future for us so she can't understand why I'm against D.

So how to say this succintly and in a DB Fashion?
