I will always stand behind the belief that DB'ing is not about saving your marriage....It is more about saving yourself while moving forward in life while at the same time being open to reconciliation. The reality is that once a person joins these boards....their marriage is finished. They may reconcile, but the marriage of old will forever be changed.
At some point, we all need to move on into the world of relationships. What newcomers need to realize is that takes time....and is not something to just be done. By your post...you clearly define that you were ready to move on. For some that takes weeks....for others years. When is dependent on the individual. You have done well PEI....did the work on yourself that needed to be done....now you are walking forward at your own pace....That is to be applauded.
