Thank you everyone! So encouraging, and such great info.

Amo, sorry if I came across as having it all figured out. Obviously I do not! I will continue to ramp up my GAL efforts.

J9, thank you! That last quote makes so much sense. I wish I had known that before I spent $400 on a "save your marriage program" that was all about pursuit. frown

Thank you Mach1. Again your perspective is spot on. And thanks for holding me accountable when you see my controlling, manipulative ways. frown I need to work even harder on that.

Gisela, ty as well. I found that offering advice to others helps me to focus on things I should. But as you can still I still struggle mightily. The one year deadline was suggested by another author (not MWD) that I paid for a private consultation with. She too is a DBing advocate, and even more strongly than MWD and others on this board. I may have to rethink it at some point, but until you asked it never really came up. The idea behind it is that there is an end game to her cake eating and safety net. Even though you never really verbalize the deadline.

Thanks you all are amazing people. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found this forum.
