I read this whole thread. What a great story, my reaction went from 'oh man poor guy' to 'wow he is really going through a tough time' to 'hey he is GAL and DBing like a pro! good for him, whatever happens, he deserves to be happy' to 'Wow that surprise turn of events came out of nowhere! no doubt because he stuck to what works'.
I noticed the time frame we're talking about is 4-5 months right? I guess that's a relatively short time but it seems like forever to me, you really stuck to your guns and stayed strong. Best wishes to you, whereever you decide to go from here!
