I have read all of the books and have implemented 180's, and gone dark as much as possible with out affecting my daughter. I was in the newbies section for a while and thought that this would be the natural progression. As far as me and my wife. It is like someone in a previous post once said, that DB'ing is not 1 size fits all. As far as my wife, she reminds me of the Martin Short movie where he wakes up every morning with a clean slate. The only difference is that it is only clean on the surface. She holds onto resentment underneath her facade.
