I think I may have made a comment about how your W would not be truly happy, b/c she doesn't want to be responsible for her own happiness. She thought she'd be happy if she got M. Then it was having babies. Then she thought she'd be happy if you lived closer to her parents. Then it was law school, etc., etc. Happiness has to come from within the person. Your W is wanting someone or some thing to make her happy.
I agree about the MC. She's good!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
