Hello Mozza, I just wanted to welcome you to this new area of the forum. I get what you are saying about newcomers & I also came to feel it wasn't the right place for me any more. I post in the MLC part of the forum now.
It sounds as though you are doing pretty well my friend, and good that you realised about your own approach WRT this recent relationship. Thanks for the book recommendations too guys...I will add those to my list.
Hope you had a good Xmas Mozza, and that you have some nice plans for y=the new year xx
