There. Fixed that for you. smirk

How will that verify that he's done with this? Not a bad idea but I don't think it will accomplish that verification.

Portia, you can create whatever boundary best protects you.
You might want to post some of your thoughts here and get feedback.


It's what any good doctor would recommend. Do you have a better way?

I'm trying to get Portia to not simply take her husband's word for "Oh, I've ended it," before resuming LM with him. And even IF/WHEN he ends it, she'll need to ask him to get tested, because he could have contracted something while with OW.

Pretty standard reconciliation stuff, really.
