One last thing. Also you need to stop making excuses for not DBing.

"Since I'm so close to the end of the line here, I started a relationship chat."

Really? So we can use any subjective gauge for deciding to set aside DBing principles? You have no idea how close to the end you are. You were thinking you were close to the end, but are you really? And even if you are, was it the right move to start a R chat?

Did you feel better or worse after the R chat? Do you think it progressed your sitch?

Keep on DBing.....even if it really ends, you keep on DBing! DBing isn't for her...it is for you. Do you realize that I even use validation in my discussions at work? Validation is an AMAZING tactic for communicating with people. It is transformative. People can't help but be drawn to you when they feel you understand how they feel. It also diffuses things. If more exspouses would validate one another there would be less disputes post D!

So always be DBing.
