Great job on the validation! The fact that she's saying negative things about the OW is a very, very good sign. Sounds like she's feeling trapped. We can take it as a given that the A won't last. My W used to say all the time that there was something wrong with ow, and she couldn't quite put her finger on it... LOL. The fact that ow was a cold fish was part of it, as it turns out. The drinking didn't help either. Or her sense of entitlement. You learn all sorts of tidbits about the sow after reconciliation.
Of course it's not just a paper, maybs. It's something we had to fight for, so we don't take it lightly. But yes, D isn't the end necessarily. Again, I think you handled your interaction so well. W's hysteria show's her confusion. I hope the D doesn't happen Monday.
