I completely agree, I like your outline though. I definitely want to make it my own, and express my values and beliefs. And I think your right about everything else. My question is this, once I commit to this road it is almost like D without the paperwork. Will it matter whether or not the NC is still in play. Or should I tell her when I feel it's right that I am letting go and give her what she wants and drop the NC from OM. Or just let her deal with that issue on her own and me move on with myself.
