Good points, Allen. I know all of this from my readings, but when you get caught up in your own emotions (feeling hurt, rejected, etc...) it's easy to lose sight of all of this.
I read the article and did find it ammusing and accurate! Assuming you mean the "stages".
I will check out the intel thread! I tell ya, short of just point blank asking him to let me see it, I'm out of ideas to get ahold of it. I think I was awake half the night hoping to catch him in a deep sleep so I could get my hands on it for awhile. Didn't work. He wasn't sleeping well either and we even talked several times about how neither of us could sleep. H snores when he's in deep sleep mode, so that would be my cue.
