Is starting a family right away something that has to be done, due to her age?
Just curious..
P.S. Things look soooo good from here. It must be hard for you to see it, but think of all the things she is doing now that were unthinkable even a month ago. Having dinner with you, spending the day with you, etc. These are huge steps and very significant, I think. Plus you are doing such a fantastic job of being Steely Man that she is fast becoming undone, in your presence. She can't hold up that false bravado shiit in the face of your strength. Good going!
Slow and steady wins the race, remember that. Keep validating her but with your new steely core.
