I actually have a masters degree in counseling (long time ago, and a lot of good it's done me...) and I remember one of the profs saying that both the greatest joys and our greatest sorrows will come from our relationships with other people. So true...
It's never OK to backslide, but all of us here are human beings who are suffering the worst experiences of our lives, so we all backslide from time to time. But as you find yourself detaching more and more, I think you'll find yourself backsliding less and less. We backslide when we still have too much emotional involvement in our spouse's drama.
