Oh and FTR, I liked your Scenario 4 Starsky…with on caveat …when MIR is ready…he gathers his…….
And my caveat would be that while MIR is waiting to be ready his W continues her A and becomes more entrenched in it. Let's face it, if she has two men wooing her and meeting all of her needs she's probably not going to give that up willingly. It's human nature.
I have posted before about a basic philosophical divide between me (and others who post much the same advice I do) and some others.
Some see people not ready (and correctly so, because usually they're NOT), and tell them to wait until they are. I see these same people, and I exhort them to GET ready, asap, for the reasons I outline above (the things that happen while one sits in Limbo).
