I can relate, the friend zone is a terrifying idea. But DB does say that it takes time for WAW to see and believe those changes. I think the scale, that is not going to be accurate in all situations, was referenced as a month for every year that WAW sees that it was a problem or that they experienced a painful situation. I myself feel like I'm dealing with this still but I think its great that you have been lucky enough to hear her say you are the H she always wanted. I think that shows great steps in the right direction.
