It IS therapeutic and like you said, you can read back to help you move forward. Great way of looking at it.

AND we(definitely I) like to see how others in a very similar situation are getting along.

Isn't that funny how we make a little change and it greatly affects our W? It's almost like you wrote down on a piece of paper what you were going to do, she read it and then wanted to test you on it. I know that's not the case but it's pretty funny. I'm glad you stuck to your guns. I'm sure she consciously or subconsciously got it.

One thing I would suggest for you is to figure out a way to treasure your W and her "assets" without her feeling like you want to bend her over the kitchen table. There's a difference between ogling and appreciating.
