Hi Rose888,
thanks for your post - I will check out that NPR article.
Having no contact is what is driving me nuts, so I am going to try to at least talk to him, no R talk or future etc, but if we keep getting further apart, where is the hope?
It seems like a lot of the successful DB stories occur when the LBS offers friendship. That is what i want to do.
I will see what happens...oh god, this [censored]!
