My Intro: Thanks for Reading!

RSF--I don't know if you've noticed this....but you do respect Gucci a lot, as you should. But you respect him so much you often ask him to predict the future for you. He can't. He's been through hell and has a lot to teach you, but he can NOT tell you what the outcome is going to be.

I respect Gucci no more or less than I do several of my top council (read: the people who are big enough suckers to keep coming back to my thread ;-)) I often ask Gucci and a few others for clarifications because he offers advice, which I do assume to be valuable, but without any context which I need to apply it. That may make it seem like I value it above others or that I'm asking him to predict the future.

The one thing we all need to realize here is that there is no empirical evidence that the DBing methodology is widely effective or better than another methodology. What we do know is that taking care of yourself is always good and for the cases we've seen DBing successfully save marriages, it works. Gucci has seen it work thousands of times. It may well be the appropriate approach for those thousand cases and may be useless in all others. Right now it is by far the best thing that I have and I'm sticking to it. I do think it's important to understand what we're working with though.
