OMG, GoatGal. Switch "GUBU" for Mr. Gritty. I could've written every word you wrote. They are twins.

They have the same friends, too. (Well, um, HAD the same friends.) Mr. Gritty won't return his family's calls, either. He surrounds himself with a younger crowd now, one that likes to party.

You and I are the same age, too.

About the reworked strategy: I was reading on Raine's thread about how at one crucial point in her journey she took a leap of faith and did something that was definitely not DB. And it worked.

She said we know our spouses better than anyone else, and must follow our intuition.

And is it possible... for over 50s, the rules might be a little different?

I don't know. But no matter. I say go, girl, follow that intuition. If it's working, it's working. MWD even says to "monitor results" and that's what you're doing. So YAY.
