Again, Dia, I don't deny the goodness of the points you make. I do say -- a la Schnarch -- that I won't believe them until I experience them. It's not that I don't "believe" her changes -- that, in my reading, is a phenomenon LBS experiences when s/he HAS changed AND when WAS has NOTICED the changes but rejects them.
NOTHING is different in WAW's attitude except there's no Signore to go seeking solace and validation from. Now if she were acting differently, doing 180s on the things that I found problematic in the M, etc., that would be a different story. But there's no evidence of that. I mean, here I am on the Great European Getaway, taking care of business (literally), and in 20 pick-pick-pick emails she hasn't once asked, "How's work going?"
Now the fact that there ARE 20 pick-pick-pick emails is indicative that she is not detached. But IMO not not being detached isn't the same as wavering in her commitment to D or even as creating an opening for durther DB. All it means is she pulled this thing out of her a** since Square 1, assuming (I have to guess) that by following the prescribed LBS routine I'd sort it all out for her.
