AS and Jim: Right now separation is not in the cards for me.
Sorry when I said "Separation really helps with DB'ing" I meant physical separation, not separation in lieu of divorce. What I was trying to say is when D happens and the two parties move apart (physical separation), DB'ing is easier and more productive. I know a lot of LBS's see D as some kind of dead end, like you hit D and that's the end of the road. I don't see it that way, it's only the end if that's what you choose. We're constantly preaching removing all pressure from the WAS and D certainly has a way of doing that.
