EZ, first, well done. Sounds like you are doing great. Just keep up keeping up.

One slight criticism.......

Early in my sitch I had a tendency to gauge everything I instituted based on her reaction. Let her go to get her back? I started letting her go, but always kept one eye on her reaction and actions. The anti-DB expert that was providing me guidance (note, this is NOT MWD), told me to avoid the temptation to gauge the state of things based on what my W said and did. Whether it was second-to-second, minute-to-minute, or day-to-day. I equate it to being like a long term investment. You don't track a long term investment day-to-day. You do it over a long period of time. There will be lots of ups and downs in the short term, long term trend is the key.

So stop focusing so much on whether or not GAL and/or "as if" is having an effect on her. More importantly is it having an effect on you?
