Hey Sage and KAW.

I nominate Jethro to the title of a wise ole veteran DBer...
Geez...I don't feel that I deserve this title. So many more have been through more than I and have come out ahead. Really, although incredibly painful for me, I feel as though my sitch is relatively "light" compared with many others. Go figure...

So, my W finished Love Languages yesterday morning and called to see if she could pass it on to her parents. Naturally, I gave her the affirmative. Funny thing, a few days ago she said that people getting M should read this book, as it could really help. I told her that many of us have said the exact same thing on the BB (as well as DR).

Last night I very briefly mentioned OM, and she said, "I don't even like to think about that anymore." My response was that although she wants to put it behind her, I, unfortunately still think about it every day. She simply said, "I know." But, hey, at least she DOESN'T want to think about it anymore...

So, all continues as it continues. My W is doing things that she hasn't done in some time--for herself and her family. It's incredibly refreshing and I'm increasingly more encouraged. Her progress is interesting, and I'm not sure the rest of you guys experience things the same way...but instead of her progress being gradual (like a line graph rising ever so steadily), it's more like steps (big rise, then a plateau, then a big rise again). The night before last, for whatever reason, was another step. Hmmm...

I never want my old, crappy R again. Never.

Take care, all.
