What's next???? The adventure continues!!!

AFWAW: IMO, the building of their independent life has been the hardest for me to deal with, too. In my case it is more than just furniture: a refrigerator/freezer, washer/dryer, artwork for the walls, a car, working on her german driver's license and on getting her german citizenship back, starting classes that last until September... it sure looks like she is planning on staying for a while.

My W also says she doesn't want a D. Why do you think that is? Are we just the back-up plans, the insurance policy if their independent lives fail? Or, deep-down, do they believe that this is just a phase and want to return after they have this out of their system?

Whichever it is, it is damn painful.
