JEB and Eric,

I think there is little bit of duplistic nature in all 180's. So is it for her? No, I've always worn it a little longer, now it's just even longer. Is it to effect a change in her demeanor toward me? Possibly. It's an experiment. Textbook DB'ing the way I read it.

You guys can't have your cake and eat it too. Changes made to ones self should only be made for one's self, while expousing the virtues of DB, like 180's, going dark, etc. These techniques are all manipulative behaviuors designed to extract a changed / positive response in the other person. It is because we care for the other person and seek to change our circumstances through our actions. As idiotic as the whole hair thing seems, it is but one of my efforts, no matter how small.

Eric, the timeline is a function of reality. Not set by me. I laid out the circumstances I would stand after the D vs. not standing. I will play my cards as I see fit during this whole process. I can only control my own actions, so I see my efforts as definitely proactive. However, I must prepare to be adult enough to accept possible future circumstances. As it has been said, all our sitch's have different flavors. I will choose to look at things positively either way things work out.
