Quote: Re the outright denial and your head shouting "LIAR" to you... I sincerely think it is different than the lie of the uncaring WAS who is in a FU mode saying get the F out of my biz with the lies.
Another excellent point, your W is definitely in a different place than that. Her inability or unwillingness to open up comes from an entirely different place and speaks a lot about her feelings for you. Something to keep in mind.
