It's Been Two Months Today

You know, I did say to her at the coffee shop, "I've always known you to be rational, logical, and practical. Yet you're making every decision right now based on emotion. This just isn't like you."

I could tell she really heard that, and she nodded. She confessed she was scared about the business, scared of the future... that's why she's buying the "house in the hood" and mitigating her expenses. This is the woman who has spent years working around the world making six figures, and if my real W would pull back and look at things with some perspective, I think she'd be horrified at herself.

In fact, just days after the bomb drop, she kept saying this was all a nightmare and she was already horrified. She's moved on from those feelings, or is minimizing them now. But she did have them and probably still does, somewhere in there.

I just let her talk those things through. And mindful that she is operating purely from emotion, I need to work even harder to operate from a place of observation and detachment - for both of us.
