To be honest, I haven't read alot of the DB materials so I can't be sure.
GAL- which I assume is getting a life- well he was already gone enough so that wouldn't have worked on me at all.
What I wanted to see was a partnership- someone who valued me- respected me- and most importantly someone who wanted to meet my needs. Someone who listened to me and took the time to intimately know me.
I came here just primarily to help men who might need my perspective.
We appreciate you coming here to provide us with your perspective. What you descibe as what you wanted in your marriage...is also something that I want in ours.
