That's great!
A 32" waist? I'm jealous.

You are growing my friend. Sounds like you did a great job.

I just know that this whole episode had to be stressful at least heading into it. But you performed like a champ. Funny you referred to my approach as Alpha. I didn't see it that way initially but I can't disagree. We talk about becoming attractive to our Ws and IMO this is how it is done. Not some cologne or hairstyle but centered male confidence.

I love the part about the dog. I believe it was a test of sorts. Ws do that. They test. You passed. Now if you decide to let her take the dog, so be it. But you didn't jump on her bait. Silly games? I know.

As for your S... So now she takes an active interest? Trust me he will be fine. They will work it out over time but remember it is between them.
Remeber I said this. W will use him to test you. She will see how much you blame her. And blame her all you want, just don't show it to her. If you want to read and better understand what she is going through google “negative sentiment override”. Fascinating stuff.
You two are strong men and will survive. Right?

Better that she looks like she did than her best. At least at this point. IMO, she is not done. She has not moved on. Seems she is struggling with what she has done even if she has not taken responsibility for her portion. If she is anything like my W, this just happened to her. You probably caused it. Whatever.
Remain the Lighthouse.

I'm happy this turned out as you described.
