No problem with you being blunt JTB, think I need a dose of that every once in a while.

The more I read & understand, the better I grasp that there is nothing I can do/say to get her to behave in a reasonable way or dissuade her from pursuing OM. In fact, any challenge on my part will only add to her resolve about being with him, considering my W was pretty obstinate pre-MLC surely that will be amplified to gargantuan proportions now!

Yes you're right on the money wrt the HalfTheMan name, it is a song reference as well as serving to capture the mood from BD to when I signed up to the forum. It has been noted already by RAI that I should be looking to update this or refine it. So although the acronym HTM will remain, I'll work on creating a more positive moniker to fit with where I'm heading smile
