Doing everything wrong...

[trumpet]

Benefit of the doubt happens when rubber meets the road. Actions for a consistent amount of time. Weeks. You are the ice cream truck. You are driving away. She is running after the truck with money in her hands. You need to see a bit of running to you, not just her standing there at the street corner.

Tough love. A wayward wife has to work through all the emotional slag until she gets to the molten center of logical thought.

I think you're in for months. You might think days. Gotta play the long game.
