Hmmm. It would have been so much easier if you had told her that you were speaking to a marriage counselor instead of "Vernetta." Not qualifying it makes it sound like ti could be a new "OW."
If you can have a decent conversation with her I would come to her and tell her that you have been trying to understand all that went wrong with your relationship and contacted a marraige counselor and THAt is why you were on the phone so long.
