Heather - You may be right about the timeout. Instead of going through the cost of a D, it may be that both of you are just branching out and seeing what life outside the M is like. It ultimately could draw you both closer together in the end. I am just trying to take an optimistic look at it and it would be great if that actually happens.
I like that you have the courage to stand up for what you feel is the right thing for yourself now. As Frank Sinatra said... "I did it my way".
