I know you are in it and you have to trust your gut. But it sounds good to me. I have reread your posts and I don't see the reason for such negative thoughts. I don't discredit your feelings, they are surely more tuned in than me. Just an outsiders viewpoint.

You have a lot of what I would see as major steps in the right direction. I too admit that I see baby steps and automatically say that's good but it is superficial and doesn't count in the long run. But it counts now and beats reverse steps.

I laughed at your last comment. I too thought I could take a tip or two from my wife about detaching, GAL and no expectations .
