Excellent reply to W. Glad yourecognise thatyou are ableto have difficultconversations confidently.

Maybe you should close the door a little further on a futureR with W,, at least appear to her. At the moment she thinks you willttakeher backunfer certain conditions. So you are still available. Add doubt to her whetheryyou wouldwant to restart any R with her.

Just my slight adjustment. Taking nothing away from how wellyou did.

Best wishes
