Regarding the Friendzone thing. I have "celebrated" 3 birthdays since BD and my W made me my favorite cake each and every time, whilst entertaining a R with OM.
Friendzone? No thanks...
Although not as far along as you, I'm in the same boat. Eff that friend zone.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
