Is it too soon to give up hope?

I'm struggling as well with the "friend" stage. I'm trying very hard to GAL and be pleasant with my H. I'm just not sure if I'm doing the right thing. It's so tough to know if I'm properly applying the DR principles. I cannot afford a counselor at the moment as well.

Good luck with everything. I know everyone here has been a great support system for me. More so than my friends and family here at home.
