I found you! You post on so many others' threads that I was having trouble finding YOUR thread. I wanted to say how much I have appreciated your feedback. I replied to your recent comments on my thread, but wanted to let you know that if you want to buy some forensic testing kits for your D13 (maybe for Christmas?), you can buy the 'real deal' at http://store.sirchie.com. This is one of the places where law enforcement agencies buy their testing supplies. That's where I bought my kits to test for illegal drugs in my anonymous package.

MHL, do you think you are in the friendship stage with W? Just asking because I have chatted with Jody (DB coach) a couple times about trying to move from friendship stage to the romance stage. What you did here (complimenting W in a very non-threatening way) sounds like exactly what Jody recommended. How did W react to your compliment?

Jody also told me that I should start showing more vulnerability and share more information with XH to begin to create intimacy. Don't know if this makes sense in your situation, but it sounds as though your W might be leading you there. In my situation, XH responded very well to my opening up to him. It DID seem to bring us closer.
It's interesting to me that you say that you have been cycling a lot lately (I do too and get frustrated with myself) because in your posts you always sound very centered. I will try to take a page from your playbook and forgive myself for cycling. You seem to have this all in perspective.
