From a recent conversation: H: I think the false thinking here is that I am happier because of D. I am happier because I am asking for what I want, getting what I want, and being a man in charge of my own needs. W: I am glad to hear that D is making you happier. It is making me happier too. I was feeling guilty for hurting you but am glad to know that I have spurred you on to better things.
Ha! Well she could be just hearing what she wants to hear, but there's also the possibility that re-steering the convo was completely intentional on her part. Your W is a mean, angry and vindictive WAS and while she has dialed it back from 10 to 9 it is still a 9 so keep that in mind. Just avoid conversations like this altogether. You didn't post what came before this but it sounds like you let her bait you into an R talk. Don't be baited!
