That is great news!!! Thanks for sharing your success. I intend to take a similar approach when my W comes home for a 2 week visit. No R talk from me, just a happy, positive attitude with some 180's thrown in for good measure.
I agree with you on the snooping and how afterwards it NEVER makes you feel good. I gave up on doing that awhile ago. The old saying of "what you don't know can't hurt you" can be true at times. I simply don't need to know all of the sordid details of what I already know is going on or has happened.
