Wow.

Your DB coach gives you the bum's rush because of a phone issue? Not very professional. I hope you get your money back or a free session out of it.

I could have "coached" you to be your w's "friend." But I think that advice stinks. Your w is cake-eating. The only reason she wants to slow down the D is so that SHE gets more comfortable with the idea of it. She's not doing it to spare you any pain.
