Rick,

Not following DBing? Please elaborate. I thought I was following by the book until my slip in January when I told her I wanted her back after she told me how much she missed me.

Just so we're clear, she left me in April '11 and met OM in May. They've been together ever since. He's a "filler" rebound kind of guy... no real career, no real spark or personality, but she feels SAFE with him b/c he feels like he won the girlfriend lottery. She's dynamic, beautiful, Spanish, etc...

So, you're saying I need to draw a hard boundary and go dark? For some reason I though I needed to play the "understanding patient" card here.

As for GAL, I'm all over it. I've never been so fit, I'm starting a new company, I run a morning workout class in the park, I just recorded an album of original new music. Basically, every woman I meet wants to marry me -- except the one I want back.

And full disclosure, she left me because I went AWOL emotionally. I hung her out to dry as we do, and she went WAW on me.
