Great post Zues.

Validating in this sitch means acknowledging W feelings and views. Saying you have heard her and noticed.

It doesn't mean validate and agree to separating, it is saying you hear that she wants this.

Do research Wonkas validation 101, I really do believe acquiring these skills will help you in communicating with W.
