Hey Joe. Just caught up on this thread, I'll need to go back to your previous ones to get more details leading up to this but for right now, I'm happy you have this opportunity and I think you're handling it incredibly well. I wish the absolute best for you and XW and I'm happy to hear that the difficulty of recon is less so than the difficulty of D!
I also just have to say that this made me LOL:

I had the hardest time when my H started calling me by my name instead of "babe". I actually told him NOT to call me by my name because it was so ridiculous. So I like that you've said this and if I ever get the same opportunity I may steal it from your playbook. Within reason, of course. You are great at setting the boundaries, just make sure they don't become excessive as "punishment" which will further inhibit R2.
