Hey Girlie,

I'm on the fly, but you do sound at peace with this.

Look at it this way: no one's asking you to sign some non-reversible contract. So you divorce (or separate), and maybe -- when those conditions are met that you outline -- you date each other again, this time on a much healthier basis?

That's exactly what me and the fetching Mrs. Puppy did, and it's like NIGHT AND DAY, the difference. It wasn't until we were both truly ready to lose our OLD marriage, that we ever began to find our NEW one.

Peace,

Puppy
