Nicola,
What's great about that conversation is that you are very aware of your emotoins and your reactions. You made a conscious effort to not fall into the same traps you used to. You are emotionally intelligent.

DBing really is less about "winning" our spouse back and more about us finding our own happiness and peace and growth, IMO. Regardless of what happens with our Hs, we are all in a better position for our next R.

Anyway, good job with your dad.
