hi JWS- im sorry you had to endure the "talk" again- but you handled it perfectly...DB'ing to a T. good work....just remember they are just words...my H said it to me after our sep only once and then never brought it up again bc i handled it so well...i didnt react and said just what you said..."if that will make you happy then i cant stop you"...
i would be careful of "I" statements- Michelle actually warms against them in her book..she says DO NOT talk about FEELINGS....but do stand up for yourself i it gets heated...
it sounds like it went well and you now have your doggie!!!
are you doing ok?
