Ouch. I know how much it hurts when we hear stuff like this Mtn. Here's the thing: She's bouncing around because she's not really sure what she wants. Considering the fine job you've been doing DB who can blame her?

Discussing the reality of separating finances may be just what she needs to see right now. Might cause her to wonder if ending the M is going to be as great as she's thinking it'll be.

You have been doing such a great job Mtn, stay strong and don't let this bump in the road take you off course. She's been warming up to you for a reason. Stay on track my friend!

M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
